Why is development of CLP needed? Why don we just rely on the coal slurry pipeline?
CLP is superior to the coal slurry pipeline. In addition to requiring much less water, CLP also has the potential advantages of being more economical, dewater of coal being much easier, use of less energy to transport each ton of coal, and making clean-up much easier in the event of spills. Consequently, CLP is more attractive than coal slurry pipeline and will have a larger future market.
