Coal entering Renaissance: Cruickshank
This report on Canadian coal-to-liquid enterprise comes from the Saskatchewan, Canada, Star-Phoenix.
Some excerpts:
"NuCoal expects a coal liquefaction plant to be operating in southern Saskatchewan within years -- not decades, says president Alan Cruickshank."
"New technology will ease carbon emissions and develop alternative and economical uses for coal, including turning it into gasoline, he says."
""Coal isn't dirty. It's the way we process it," he said in an interview this week."
""A liquefaction plant would produce fuels with no air pollution, no tailings and no carbon emissions," he said.
"Saskatchewan is blessed with huge amounts of coal and ...One of the biggest prospective business opportunities is liquefying coal and shipping it south, likely by pipeline, to the United States."
