Illinois coal tests in Scotland explore gasification potential
Randolph County coal from Southern Illinois will be tested at Westfield Scotland in a study on transforming the coal into a clean burning substitute for natural gas. Eight major Illinois utilities sponsor the project, including Central Illinois Public Service Co. and Southwest Illinois Coal Corp. tests involve 10,000 tons mined in Randolph County. The effort, part of a $2.5 million program funded by utility firms and the Interior's Office of Coal Research, aims to adapt the Lurgi gasification process to Illinois coal and spur a new downstate energy industry.
