The advantages of carbonization are that it requires low investment compared with other liquefaction routes, and that the hydrogen requirement per ton of liquid product is low. The route should be considered only for tar-rich coals and where there is a market for the char produced. The Lurgi-Ruhrgas process, which has been used commercially for some years, is described. The development of large combined coal liquefaction and power plant is discussed.
