Abstract

The development of processes for coal-gasification, power-generating systems requires large capital expenditures. To obtain a test at an operational scale of about 100 MW, in which the developed system can be considered commercially available, usually requires a typical time schedule of 3--8 years and funding levels of 100--200 million dollars. World events as well as technical factors will decide whether the solutions under current development will be timely. It is recognized that the successful completion of the tasks will be an achievement for the worldwide electricity community. Both liquefaction and gasification will have an important place in the future economic production of electric power. The power industry will have a need to convert hundreds of millions of tons of coal to clean fuels. (Summary)
