We aren't even going to edit the format of the US Department of Energy's presentation of this, the "Cooperative research in coal liquefaction. Technical progress report, May 1, 1993--April 30, 1994" synopsis, in the following excerpt from the above link.
As with other USDOE reports confirming the validity of coal liquefaction technology to which we've alerted you, the size of the full text file, comprising 333 pages, from our US Government, reporting on the refinement of coal liquefaction technology, is far beyond our limited technical capacity to download and manage.
Allow us, though, some forewords excerpted from the Abstract:
"Accomplishments for the past year are ... coliquefaction of coal with waste materials; catalysts for coal liquefaction to clean transportation fuels ... (and) ... very promising results have been obtained from the liquefaction of plastics, rubber tires, paper and other wastes, and the coliquefaction of wastes with coal."
"Very promising results .. from ... wastes, and ... coal."
The full report, printed and bound, should have been mailed to every taxpaying citizen in US Coal Country; or, serialized and provided as a Sunday supplement in every Coal Country newspaper every week for a year - during just one of the fifteen-plus years that we have been suffering extortion at the hands of liquid fuel suppliers since this report was "published".
And, note yet again: We aren't trying to figure out how to make liquid fuels from coal. We already know how to do it. We are figuring out how to do it better than we've been able to do it before. But, wouldn't almost any way we could make our needed liquid fuels, out of our abundant domestic coal, be better than what we have now, where we're being held in unhealthy economic bondage, by less-than-friendly petroleum powers?

| Description/Abstract | Accomplishments for the past year are presented for the following tasks: coliquefaction of coal with waste materials; catalysts for coal liquefaction to clean transportation fuels; fundamental research in coal liquefaction; and in situ analytical techniques for coal liquefaction and coal liquefaction catalysts some of the highlights are: very promising results have been obtained from the liquefaction of plastics, rubber tires, paper and other wastes, and the coliquefaction of wastes with coal; a number of water soluble coal liquefaction catalysts, iron, cobalt, nickel and molybdenum, have been comparatively tested; mossbauer spectroscopy, XAFS spectroscopy, TEM and XPS have been used to characterize a variety of catalysts and other samples from numerous consortium and DOE liquefaction projects and in situ ESR measurements of the free radical density have been conducted at temperatures from 100 to 600{degrees}C and H{sub 2} pressures up to 600 psi. |
