Alberta Plains Coal Regions: Potential Feedstock for Coal Conversion by Liquefaction and Pyrolysis

Coal, believed to be suitable as feedstock for on-site conversion plants, is found in many very large deposits in the Alberta Plains; some of these deposits are difficult of access, others are already dedicated to thermoelectric power production, but many remain uncommitted. The Alberta Research Council presents the following report - an update and expansion of previous issues - as a guide to those coal deposits that are both suitable and available for conversion process.
