Illinois coal: development potential

Book ·
OSTI ID:6888743
;
In examining the position of Illinois coal reserves and the future coal supply that may be needed from Illinois mines by 1985, the Illinois State Geological Survey mentions the slow progress in the development of synthetic fuels from coal as one factor that has limited the growth of Illinois coal resources. However, with ERDA's recent announcements of funding for Coalcon's 22 million cf/day demonstration plant to be constructed in New Athens, Ill., by 1980 and approval of planning funds for the Illinois Coal Gasification Group's 18 million cf/day plant in Perry Co., the impact of synthetic-fuel production on Illinois coal should be significant before 1985. Looking at overall U.S. coal needs, the ISGS predicts that 102 million tons/y will be needed from Illinois mines by 1985.
