Abstract
Recently the author emphasized the necessity of the new coal chemical industry as a new aspect of coal utilization, and in this report it has been discussed on technical and enterprising points of view. The conclusions derived can be summarized as follows.
Coal in future must be more highly utilized owing to the increase of its demand and the developmlent of atomic power. Accordingly, coal chemical industries must be more developed and for this purpose, research activities should be promoted to develop new technologies. It is strongly hoped that coal mining industry is cross-linked with other chemical industries, gas enterprise, etc, and that the synthetic coal chemical works are constructed which realize the synthetic plan on state national and the gas pipe lines are established which play important parts in cross-linking among each enterprise.
