The Secretary of Energy must research turning coal into liquid fuel to replace oil. Goals include better resource use, more fuel per ton of coal, higher efficiency, and lower costs. The Secretary had 180 days to ask for project proposals.

(a) Program direction: The Secretary must run a program of research, development, demonstration, and commercial use to develop technologies — that are both economically and environmentally acceptable — for replacing oil by turning coal into liquid fuel. (b) Program goals: The program's goals include: (1) picking better raw coal resources and improving product quality; (2) developing technology to get more liquid fuel out of each ton of coal; (3) increasing overall thermal efficiency — how much of the coal's energy becomes usable energy; and (4) lowering construction and operating costs through better technology. (c) Proposals: Within 180 days of October 24, 1992, the Secretary had to ask for proposals to carry out this section.
