Abstract
As the supply of fuel oil becomes insecure, it is anticipated that coal will capture a significant fraction of future energy growth. However, complete conversion of oil-fired facilities to coal would involve substantial capital expenditure. Coal-water slurry fuels can be used as a replacement for fuel oil in industrial facilities with only modest retrofits of existing equipment. These hybrid fuels offer a potential material cost advantage per Btu over neat fuel oil.
