MPs push for gov't investment in liquid fuel from coal

The investment would enhance our energy safety. Professor Tibor Petrys from Kraków Academy of Mining and Steelwork says that "a feasibility study has already been prepared of the project and several companies have declared their interest in the investment". The building of a plant would last about 3 years. The production of 1 litre of oil would cost about zł.2.5 at a capacity of 8-10 000 tons a day. Kompania Węglowa (The Polish Coal Company, KW) and Ciech have expressed their support too. Experts differ in opinions as to the profitability of the project. The Ministry of Economy will receive details the next week. (Puls Biznesu, p.9) J.L.
