Friedrich Bergius was born on October 11, 1884, in Goldschmieden near Breslau, Silesia.
Bergius was educated in Breslau and whilst still at school took great interest in his father's factory where he was able to study various working methods under the guidance of his father and thus became acquainted with chemicotechnical processes.
Before entering University, Bergius was sent to the Ruhr for six months by his father, where he studied the practical aspects of a large metallurgical plant and profited greatly by this experience.

Bergius worked in industry 1914-45, then left Germany and eventually settled in Argentina 1948, as a technical adviser to the government.
In 1912 Bergius worked out a pilot scheme for using high pressure, high temperature, and a catalyst to hydrogenate coal dust or heavy oil to produce paraffins (alkanes) such as petrol and kerosene.

 Friedrich Bergius Biography / Biography of Friedrich Bergius History of Scientific Discovery Biography
Friedrich Bergius was an organic chemist who, as research director of the Goldschmidt Company in Essen, Germany, was able to develop two hydrogenation processes that were widely used in industry.
Bergius also developed high-pressure methods for breaking wood down into edible products, a process that was called "food from wood." For his work with these methods, Bergius was awarded the 1931 Nobel Prize in chemistry.
His father, Heinrich Bergius, was the head of a local chemical factory and his mother, Marie Haase Bergius, was the daughter of a classics professor.

Friedrich Bergius (1884-1949) in Rheinau-Mannheim began the German drive for energy independence with his invention and early development of high-pressure coal hydrogenation or liquefaction in the years 1910-25.
Meanwhile turbines powered by kerosene (mostly aircraft but also military vehicles) could obtain kerosene either by the Bergius process or they could be converted to burning hydrogen hydrolyzed from water with electricity generated by nuclear power plants.
Bergius does much better at producing higher grade gasolines, which we could dispense with in a pinch.

German organic chemist Friedrich Bergius develops a high-pressure hydrogenation process that transforms heavy oil and oil residues into lighter oils, boosting gasoline production.
In 1926 IG Farben Industries, where Carl Bosch had been developing similar high-pressure processes, acquires the patent rights to the Bergius process.

 Carl Bosch
In 1925 he helped found I.G. Farben as a confederation of smaller companies including BASF.
(The company was so involved with the Nazi regime that the Allied Military Government forced it to be split into its component companies after the war.) Bosch received (with Friedrich Bergius) the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his work with industrial processes, including Haber-Bosch process, a method of nitrogen fixation, and other high pressure methods.
