Weighing benefits, costs, and. environmental issues, a productive and robust U.S. strategy is to promote a. limited amount of early commercial experience in coal-to-liquids production. and to prepare the foundation for managing associated greenhouse-gas. emissions, both in a way that reduces uncertainties and builds future. capabilities. 606 $aCoal liquefaction$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aCoal liquefaction 615 0$aCoal liquefaction$xGovernment policy 615 0$aCoal liquefaction. 676 $a662/.6622 700 $aBartis$b James T.$f1945-$0904741 701 $aCamm$b Frank A.$f1949-$0924077 701 $aOrtiz$b David$g(David Santana)$0973386 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220103803321 996 $aProducing liquid fuels from coal$92874344 997 $aUNINA
