The Commercial Expediency of Using the Technology of Indirect Liquefaction of Coal by the Fischer – Tropsch Method

Abstract

Economic efficiency and commercial expediency of using the indirect coal liquefaction technology by the Fischer – Tropsch method are researched. The structure of investments for construction of a synthetic liquid fuels plant, as well as the structure of its self-cost, is analyzed. Based on the built econometric dependence, technical and investment characteristics of plants for indirect liquefaction of coal by the Fischer – Tropsch method have been calculated.
