OSTI ID:6123038

The Clean Coal Technology Demonstration Program (also referred to as the CCT Program) is a government and industry cofunded technology development effort to demonstrate a new generation of innovative coal utilization processes in a series of full-scale, showcase'' facilities built across the country. The program will take the most promising of the advanced coal-based technologies and, over the next decade, move them into the commercial market place through demonstration. This report, Program Update 1990, is the fourth in a series of annual updates on the status of the program, progress being made in the projects, and the status of other activities being conducted in support of the demonstration program. The first chapter of this 1990 program update contains an explanation of the role of the CCT Program in reducing or eliminating the economic and environmental barriers that limit the full consideration of coal as an energy resource. Chapter 2 explains the process used to solicit, evaluate, and select proposals for demonstration projects. Chapter 3 addresses the financial aspects of the program, including project funding, cost-sharing, and provisions for recoupment of government costs. Chapter 4 reports the progress and status of the demonstration projects constituting the program. Chapter 5 addresses the environment aspects of the program and the NEPA process as it applies to the CCT Program. Chapter 6 contains a summary of program outreach efforts and the communication of technical information about the technologies and demonstration projects to a broad range of groups and persons who will be involved in decisions about future commercial application. Chapter 7 is a compilation of fact sheets for each demonstration project. 20 figs.
