Project Description:
Ohio River Clean Fuels, LLC (ORCF) is proposing to construct a coal to liquids fuel plant in Columbiana and Jefferson counties. The project would involve the transformation of coal and other biomass into liquid fuel via a coal gasification process.
If approved for construction, the facility would produce approximately 52,000 barrels of fuel per day. The combustion gas and steam produced by the coal gasification process would be utilized at an onsite cogeneration plant that would produce enough electric power to operate the plant as well as an electrical surplus of approximately 250MW which would be exported to an adjacent power grid. The project would have direct access to river barge, rail and truck transportation, as well as direct access to nearby petroleum pipelines for distribution of transportation fuels.
