1. Coal as Important Raw Energy Source for Hydrogen Economy Development in Europe Józef Dubiński, General Director, Central Mining Institute - GIG, Katowice, Poland Conference of the Future of Energy in Enlarged Europe Perspectives for R&D Co-operation Warsaw 7-8 October,

2. Coal is of great interest because it is: Plentiful. Resource ~ 500 years (vs. gas/oil: ~100 years). Inexpensive. 1-1.5 $/GJ HHV (vs. gas at 2.5+ $/GJ). Ubiquitous. Wide geographic distribution (vs. middle east). Clean?! Gasification, esp. with sequestration, produces little gaseous emissions and a chemically stable, vitreous ash.
