Adam Victor of TransGas Development Systems deserves acknowledgement for the advanced coal gasification project that he'll be constructing there at a cost of billions of dollars. A report on the project and information about the groundbreaking can be found here.
The plant, expected to produce over 750,000 gallons of gasoline per day, is being constructed a a minor source of air pollutants. This report from CoalGeology.com states that
The Adams Fork Energy plant will convert regional coal into premium grade, ultra clean gasoline, and will produce 18,000 barrels (756,000 gallons) per day. Following a four year construction period, this plant will create nearly 300 full-time, direct jobs, and is expected to triple the tax base in Mingo County. The facility was permitted by the State of West Virginia’s DEP based on PRENFLO PDQ gasification technology provided by Uhde, a wholly owned company of the ThyssenKrupp Group.
