The Exxon Donor Solvent (EDS) coal liquefaction process is currently being developed to a state of commercial readiness by Exxon Research and Engineering Company under a jointly funded research program. Prior to this jointly funded program, Exxon carried out privately funded research over the 10 year period 1966 through 1975 which led to the selection of the EDS Process as the preferred route to produce liquid fuels from coal. This report summarizes the research program which led to the development of the EDS Process. The significant research findings and alternative processing options which were evaluated are discussed.
