ABSTRACT:

The expansion of coal as an energy source implies changes in the patterns of coal production, trade and use. Questions arise over the economic attractiveness of different technologies, their environmental consequences, and the resulting prospects for various end-uses of coal from different sources. This report is based on an IEA Coal Research survey and analysis of published literature, and on information gathered in discussions with interested organizations and individuals. This report helps identify areas where new research and development projects should be established.
