     REPORT TO THE SENATE COMMITTEE

     ON PUBLIC WORKS                                         (q3     1;


:    BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL

     OF THE UNITED STATES








     Status And Obstacles To

     Corn mercialization Of Coal

     Liquefaction And Gasification


     Energy Research and Development Administration


     Processes which produce synthetic oil and gas
     from coal are commercially available but are
     not competitive with conventional oil and gas.
     Apparently no serious consideration is being
     given to building a commercial coal liquefac-
     tion plant in the United States.

     A number of companies have announced proj-
     ects to build high British thermal unit gasifi-
     cation plants. The most advanced of these
     projects have oncountered problems which
     have precluded the scheduled advancement of
     the projects.

     The  Energy Research   and  Development
     Administration is researching coal liquefac-
     tion and gasification processes, which propo-
     nents hope will reduce the cost of synthetic
     oil and gas. These processes require consider-
     able time before they can produce synthetic
     fuels on a commercial scale.
