BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL 13009



Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES





Liquefying Coal For

Future Energy Needs






On June 30, 1980, the President signed the
Energy Security Act establishing a Synthetic
Fuels Corporation to provide financial incen-
tives for the development of domestic substi-
tutes for imported oil.

Coal liquefaction, the conversion of coal to a
clean-burning, low-sulfur-content fuel, is a
technology which the Corporation will con-
sider for funding. It can augment petroleum-
derived products such as gasoline and boiler
fuels.

There are no commercial plants operating or
under construction in the United States for
either of the two types of coal liquefaction--
direct and indirect. GAO believes that if any
portion of the national goals for synthetic
fuels is to be met with coal liquefaction, the
bulk of the production is likely to come from
the indirect processes.
