By provision of subsection 19 of Public Law 95-238, the DOE is authorized to issue loan guarantees for the design, construction, and start-up costs for synthetic fuel projects. The Secretary of Energy authorized a Loan Guarantee in the amount of $2.02 billion to the Great Plains Gasification Associates (GPGA) for a high Btu coal gasification plant. This Loan Guarantee provides incentive for the sponsoring companies to undertake the design, construction, and operation of this first-of-a-kind plant and provides for DOE's monitoring role. The purpose of the Great Plains Gasification Project Monitoring Plan is to define the methods by which designated organizational elements of DOE are to gather information and perform evaluations and assessments of the overall project condition. To support these efforts, various types of programmatic information defined in this plan will require attentive, periodic review by these organizations during the design, construction, and operational phases of the project. The overall project condition will be evaluated by comparing current project status against established project baselines of technology, cost, schedule, environment, safety, and socioeconomic effects or impacts. The information will be used within DOE to assess project performance, identify future high payoff R D and to support industry and the US Synthetic Fuels Corporation (SFC).
