A method of producing advanced carbon materials can include providing coal to a processing facility, beneficiating the coal to remove impurities from the coal, processing the beneficiated coal to produce a pitch, and treating the pitch to produce an advanced carbon material such as carbon fibers, carbon nanotubes, graphene, resins, polymers, biomaterials, or other carbon materials.

A greenhouse gas negative emissions system. Embodiments use a dissociating reactor to produce fuel as well as carbonaceous materials, both of which are used in environmentally-clean fuel cells. A high-power reactor harmlessly dissociates methane into solid carbon and hydrogen. The methane is dissociated rather than being burned, thus permanently abating greenhouse gas emissions that would result from combustion of methane thus, the reactor operates as a negative emissions system. The dissociated hydrogen is distributed as hydrogen gas (H.sub.2). The hydrogen gas is stored for use in a clean fuel consuming apparatus that converts H.sub.2 to water (H.sub.2O) and electric energy. A first portion of the dissociated carbon is used to produce a fuel cell array that is used in environmentally-clean vehicles. A second portion of the dissociated carbon is used in other carbon-containing applications, such as lightweight carbon fiber components, carbon fiber reinforced plastics, carbon-containing building materials, and so on.
