Since Coal can, as we have more than thoroughly documented, be converted into liquid and gaseous products that can serve as direct substitutes for our current petroleum-based fuels, our USDOE, as part of their once-extensive, 1970's-era, Coal liquefaction development program, wanted to see if Coal liquids could also serve as replacements for certain petroleum-based chemical manufacturing feed stocks.
To that end, they engaged the services of Dow Chemical to assess that potential of Coal-derived liquids produced by FMC Corporation's "COED" Coal conversion process, about which we have earlier reported.
A report from that project is enclosed via the link; with excerpts following and comment appended:

Catalytic Coal Liquefaction Using Synthesis Gas - Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Process Design and Development (ACS Publ.
Enclosed are three links and three excerpts which, we think, considered together, illustrate how what should be, what should long ago have been, the shining truth of coal-to-liquid, CTL, fuel potential has been obscured, misdirected and pirated away from those who would most benefit from realization and implementation of CTL's such genuine potential: The citizens of the United States of America.
First up, via the initial link above, we submit a report of research, conducted by what became a part of the USDOE, and which was financed by our US tax dollars, about which we have earlier reported.
Additional links and excerpts, with our comments interspersed, follow:

From our own, US Department of Energy, we have further assessment of the potential for actually using the Carbon Dioxide by-product of our Coal use to provide us with a "Sustainable Fossil Fuels Future".
However, it is also further exposure of the CO2 sequestration swindle that is being foisted on the United States Coal Industry and, by extension, on every US citizen who benefits, or might benefit, from the mining and use of Coal.
By promoting the geologic sequestration of CO2, and by revealing the fact that CO2 in such sequestration can, and will, be converted into Methane through the action of methanogenic bacteria, our US Government herein, inadvertently we suspect, exposes the scam.

Methanogenic Conversion of Carbon Dioxide into Methane
Continuing with our thesis that the Geologic Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide isn't just a way to dispose of the gas, but a disguised recycling, at Coal Country's expense and to Big Oil's profit, of a valuable by-product of our coal-use industries, we submit the enclosed link and accompanying excerpt.
As we expand our research, it is becoming even more abundantly clear that enforced geologic sequestration of Carbon Dioxide is a deceitful gambit, a scheme designed to have our Coal-use industries pay for the "restocking" of depleted natural petroleum reservoirs with a raw material, CO2, that "bugs" will turn into a blend of gases which can then be used to manufacture liquid fuels and substitute petroleum products.
In confirmation of the research supporting that assertion we earlier reported from Germany, herein is the report of similar findings.

Coal Facts 2009
“The West Virginia Coal Economy 2008”
West Virginia University/Marshall University
“The West Virginia Coal Economy 2008” Since the discovery of coal in Boone County in 1742 by John Peter Shirley, West Virginia has substantially benefited from the coal mining industry. Coal mining has been a significant part of West Virginia’s economy in terms of Gross Domestic Product4, employment, wages, and tax revenues. The scope of this report is to quantify the economic impact of the coal mining industry on the West Virginia economy with special emphasis on 2008.
