Coal is abundant and inexpensive compared to oil and gas. The efficient use of coal is constrained by the difficulties of using a solid raw material for producing fuel, chemicals and other feedstocks and of managing the by-products of coal utilization (e.g. solid fuel combustion by-products include particulate, ash, and gaseous wastes). The results of innovative research could contribute to coal utilization by enabling users to handle coal with higher levels of confidence approaching that of liquid and gaseous fuels.
