Battelle Memorial Institute indefinitely defers a $15 million coal desulfurization pilot plant in West Jefferson Ohio due to higher than expected costs. Initial tests show the process would cost $17 to $20 per ton, versus earlier estimates of $13 to $14, making it economically disadvantaged compared with low-sulfur coal or stack scrubbers. MAPCO also reduces its commitment while Battelle continues some research.
