Development of Coal Utilization Technology in the World (II)

Abstract

For increasing of coal utilization, the coal liquid mixture technology is promising and Japan as well as other countries aims at practical use of this tech-nology. Also we need technologies for producing fuel gas and chemicals by coal gasification.
In Japan, a plan to build a practical factory has been recently decided for producing ammonium from synthetic gas by coal gasification, and we turn our attention to the practical use of indirect liquefaction technology to produce methanol by gasifi-cation.
R & D of a long distance transportation technology of brown coal after dewater-ing is especially useful in Japan.
