By converting from natural gas to high-sulfur coal, a process industry or utility can cut fuel costs from 50 to 80%. The BFGoodrich plant in Henry, IL will make such a conversion using a new CFB (circulating fluidized bed) boiler to burn local coal. The project is being partially funded - and closely watched - by the Illinois Department of Energy.
