Abstract
The report gives results of initial efforts of a 3-year program, initiated May 3, 1977, with the dual objectives of assessing environmental impacts associated with technologies for converting coal to high-Btu gaseous fuel and to identify control technologies required to reduce or eliminate adverse environmental impacts associated with commercial operation. The program consists of: evaluating existing process and environmental data; acquiring supplementary data through sampling and analyzing process waste streams; and environmental assessment and process engineering support studies. Most of the initial effort was in connection with acquiring and analyzing the data base, and locating potential sites for field programs. A modular approach was chosen for analyzing and presenting data on gasification, gas treatment, pollution control, and integrated facilities. Draft gasification data sheets were prepared for some of the processes considered. Preliminary discussions were held to enlist the cooperation of process developers in identifying potential sites for environmental sampling and in arranging for such sampling.

Contents Notes
This 3-year program was initiated on 3 May 1977 with the dual objectives of assessing environmental impacts associated with technologies for converting coal to high Btu gaseous fuel, and to identify control technologies required to reduce or eliminate adverse environmental impacts associated with commercial facility operation. The program effort consists of: a) evaluation of existing processes and environmental data and the data which are being generated by other EPA/ERDA contractors working in related areas; b) acquisition of supplementary data through sampling and analysis of process/waste streams at selected gasification facilities; and c) environmental assessment and necessary process engineering support studies.
