The marketing plan for the SRC-II Demonstration Plant recognizes the requirement for market preparedness and product acceptance in the development of commercial coal liquefaction plants. In early 1978, the DOE Deputy Secretary asked the electc utility industry to support the SRC-II demonstration project. A plan was proposed in which the utility industry would purchase and test the demonstration plant fuel oil product for 5 years at a projected long term price. This price would be a premium over the normal cost of utility fuel in order to subsidize DOE's effort to develop a domestic source of fuel oil made from coal. In this way, user industries and producer industries would be involved in the Demonstration Project. Currently more than twenty electric utilities have indicated their willingness to support the SRC-II demonstration program in this manner. A similar arrangement has been proposed for the pipeline gas product and a major gas utility company has indicated willingness to participate. The marketing plan includes provisions for testing applications and upgrading steps of other light hydrocarbons, non-hydrocarbon by-products, and certain liquid fractions.
