# 42 U.S.C. § 8457 - Use of petroleum and natural gas in combustors
## Text
The Secretary shall conduct a detailed study of the uses of petroleum and natural gas as a primary energy source for combustors and installations not subject to the prohibitions of this chapter. In conducting such study, the Secretary shall—
(1) identify those categories of major fuel-burning installations in which the substitution of coal or other alternate fuels for petroleum and natural gas is economically and technically feasible, and
(2) determine the estimated savings of natural gas and petroleum expected from such substitution.
Within 1 year after the effective date of this chapter, the Secretary shall submit a detailed report on the results of such study to the Congress, together with any recommendations for legislation he may consider appropriate.
(Pub. L. 95620, title VII, § 747, Nov. 9, 1978, 92 Stat. 3344.)
