Coal to gasoline tests begin in Louisiana Missouri
A U S Bureau of Mines demonstration converts about 100 tons of coal daily into roughly 150 barrels of gasoline and 50 barrels of oil by adding hydrogen. The project aims to prove synthetic fuels from coal can bolster economic welfare and security, offer steady work for miners, and reduce mining and transport costs by enabling pipeline delivery. It is the first U S plant of its kind in the United States, shown as a three-acre demonstration site with potential full-scale output of 10,000 to 30,000 barrels per day.

Secretary Diller of the U S 127 Improvement Association urged ongoing progress and noted contracts already let for upgrades in Greenville and Darke County areas.
