OSTI ID:5118203
This bill would establish a research and demonstration program to promote cofiring of natural gas and coal in certain boilers and provide Federal funding to carry out the program. Since the US will continue to rely on domestic coal as a primary fuel in electric power generation, the purpose of the bill is to encourage natural gas technologies that reduce sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions resulting from the combustion of coal. The bill authorizes $9 million for each year from 1992-94 for research and demonstration programs.
