During Phase 0, ICRC prepared the conceptual design, preliminary cost estimates, marketing assessments, economic evaluation, and environmental appraisal. Process options were evaluated, critical technology areas requiring additional data were identified, and the economics were assessed for both a 30,000-tpd commercial plant and a commercial plant of the same size expanded from a 6000-tpd demonstration plant. The latter option was chosen. Phase 0 work was completed in July 1979, and in October 1979, the DOE authorized Phase I, the detailed engineering of the project. On August 7, 1980, a cost-sharing agreement was signed between ICRC and DOE, covering the remainder of the demonstration plant program through start-up and operation of the facility. Under the terms of the agreement, ICRC would invest $90 million in the project, the Commonwealth of Kentucky would invest $30 million, and DOE would fund the balance. The contract stated that ICRC would eventually own the coal refinery after buying out the federal and state governments' interest. In March 1982, ICRC submitted the Phase I Project Baseline design, schedule, and cost estimate for construction of the demonstration plant. Since that time, ICRC has continued research and development and process design studies to resolve technical uncertainties identified during development of the Project Baseline. Eleven papers have been entered separately into EDB and ERA.
