OSTI ID:4410898
The research on coal involves the government, private and public associations, private non-profit groups, and universities. The research programs underway for each agency are discussed. The mining of coal and the problems connected with the procedures are summarized. Gasification and liquefaction are stressed. Combined power cycles, binary cycles, and open-cycle MHD systems fired by clean, low-Btu coal gas provide for near-term solution to the energy crisis. OCR's power generation objectives include development of low-Btu gasification systems, MHD central station systems, and fluidized bed combustion systems. Funding for environmental control studies is delineated. (MCW)
