Establishment of clean coal technology is important and essential for mitigating global warming and decreasing pollutant emission. In Japan several projects have been in progress for developing new coal technologies, including entrained bed coal gasification for power generation and hydrogen production, new coal pyrolysis process for recovering gaseous products, hydrogasification of coal for producing substituted natural gas, and pressurized fluidized bed combustion for power generation. One research program, organized by university researchers for supporting the ongoing projects, supported by the Scientific Research on Priority Areas is briefly reviewed, and the result obtained by the group of author's in the program is introduced.
