IEA/CIAB Workshop Coal-to-Liquids - an alternative oil supply? |
|
| Location and date(s) of workshop: |
IEA, Paris: 2 November 2006 |
| Organiser(s): | IEA Coal Industry Advisory Board (CIAB) |

Background: |
Oil supply security and price concerns have led to a renewed interest in coal as an alternative feedstock for the production of transport fuels and chemicals. Through coal-conversion technologies such as coal-to-liquids (CTL), the world’s vast coal resources could become an important alternative to crude oil. Organised by the IEA Coal Industry Advisory Board, this workshop will examine the possible impact on supply security for coal itself and on its price. CO2 emissions issues and policy responses will be addressed. More information and invitations to this event can be requested from Brian Ricketts at the IEA. |
