International Coal Refining Company (ICRC), in cooperation with the Commonwealth of Kentucky has contracted with the United States Department of Energy (DOE) to design, build and operate a first-of-its kind plant demonstrating the economic, environmental, socioeconomic and technical feasibility of direct coal liquefaction process known as SRC-I. ICRC has made a massive commitment of time and expertise to design, plan and formulate policy, schedules, costs and technical drawings for all plant systems. These fully integrated plans comprise the Project Baseline and are the basis for all plant construction, operation, and other work set forth in the contract between ICRC and the DOE. Volumes I and II of the accompanying documents constitute the Project Baseline for the SRC-I two-stage liquefaction plant. International Coal Refining Company believes this versatile plant design incorporates the most advanced coal liquefaction systems available in the synthetic fuels field. SRC-I two-stage liquefaction, as developed by ICRC, is the way of the future in coal liquefaction because of its product slate flexibility, high process thermal efficiency, and low consumption of hydrogen. The SRC-I Project Baseline design also has made important state-of-the-art advances in areas such as environmental control systems. The Baseline reflects ICRC's commitment to assure the SRC-I plant meets all applicable environmental standards. In completing the Project Baseline, International Coal Refining Company has succeeded in translating the project goal of protecting human health and the environment into a series of specific design and operating innovations. Taken together, these provisions represent a major commitment to environmental quality.
