Illinois coal gasification eyed to cut oil dependence
Beck argues coal gasification offers long term value despite higher up front costs with potential to create 250 to 400 direct jobs and 150 to 300 indirect mine jobs in Illinois. The Koppers Totzek and COGAS processes could use fines, with three year build times and 180 to 200 million dollar price tags. DOE decisions on a Perry County site loom next year.
