BY THE US, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE




Report To The Secretary Of Energy






Government Support For

Synthetic Pipeline Gas

Uncertain And Needs Attention




GAO identifies DOE synthetic pipeline coal
gas research and development which could
be left to industry. Recent congresseional
budget cuts and further DOE proposals, if
enacted, will eliminate much of the R&D.
Also, the Department's environmental re-
search has been cut back beyond what
industry will be required to perform, and
leave a gap in needed efforts.

Because DOE's support for large scale dem-
onstration projects has been eliminated,
sponsors will likely have to look to the
newly created Synthetic Fuels Corporation
for Government financial assistance.

GAO identifies obstacles facing commer-
cial projects and makes recommendations
for focusing the Department's research and
development, providing necessary environ-
mental research and furthering considera-
tion of coal gasification demonstrations.
