# 42 U.S.C. § 13334 - Nonfuel use of coal
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) Program The Secretary shall prepare a plan for and carry out a program of research, development, demonstration, and commercial application with respect to technologies for the nonfuel use of coal, including—
|
||
|
||
(1) production of coke and other carbon products derived from coal;
|
||
|
||
(2) production of coal-derived, carbon-based chemical intermediates that are precursors of value-added chemicals and polymers;
|
||
|
||
(3) production of chemicals from coal-derived synthesis gas;
|
||
|
||
(4) coal treatment processes, including methodologies such as solvent-extraction techniques that produce low ash, low sulfur, coal-based chemical feedstocks; and
|
||
|
||
(5) waste utilization, including recovery, processing, and marketing of products derived from sulfur, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and ash from coal.
|
||
|
||
(b) Plan contents The plan described in subsection (a) shall address and evaluate—
|
||
|
||
(1) the known and potential processes for using coal in the creation of products in the chemical, utility, fuel, and carbon-based materials industries;
|
||
|
||
(2) the costs, benefits, and economic feasibility of using coal products in the chemical and materials industries, including value-added chemicals, carbon-based products, coke, and waste derived from coal;
|
||
|
||
(3) the economics of coproduction of products from coal in conjunction with the production of electric power, thermal energy, and fuel;
|
||
|
||
(4) the economics of the refining of coal and coal byproducts to produce nonfuel products;
|
||
|
||
(5) the economics of coal utilization in comparison with other feedstocks that might be used for the same purposes;
|
||
|
||
(6) the steps that can be taken by the public and private sectors to bring about commercialization of technologies developed under the program recommended; and
|
||
|
||
(7) the past development, current status, and future potential of coal products and processes associated with nonfuel uses of coal.
