What does PPL have to do with Coal-to-liquids ?? helenair.com PPL offers help drawing coal-to-liquids plant By CHARLES S. JOHNSON - IR State Bureau - 04/11/2006 HELENA - A top PPL official told Gov. Brian Schweitzer Monday his company will do all that it can to help Montana attract a coal-to-liquids industry. But Roger L. Petersen, president of PPL Development Co., Allentown, Pa., said such a massive project needs a team of businesses behind it. Petersen met with Schweitzer for more than an hour. He formerly headed PPL Montana, a PPL subsidiary headquartered in Billings that owns the dams and coal-fired power plants once owned by Montana Power Co. Petersen, who still has a home in Billings, said he wants to help Montana. Schweitzer thanked him for his help. "Any time, any way," said Petersen, who flew from the East Coast just for this meeting. "My heart's still here. Any time I can help the state, I will." finance.yahoo.com 07:14 GMT, Apr 21, 2006 Latest Headlines... China's largest coalfield may have been found in Xinjiang Shanghai. April 21. INTERFAX-CHINA - The Xinjiang Bureau of Geology and Minerals Exploration has found a coalfield with proven reserves of 68.5 bln tons in the east of the Jungar Basin. The total coal reserves of the area are estimated to finally reach 390 bln tons after a few years of further exploration, which would make it the largest coalfield in China. The Ordos coalfield in Inner Mongolia is now the largest coalfield in China, with total proved reserves of 124.4 bln tons. Currently, the total proved coal reserve in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region stands at 97.8 bln tons. Feng Jing, a senior official with the Xinjiang Bureau of Geology and Minerals Exploration, told Interfax that a number of large energy companies, including the Shandong Luneng Group, the Shenhua Group, the Xinjiang Tebian Electric Apparatus Group, the Shandong Yankuang Coal Group, the Huadian Group and the Dalian Shide Group have invested in the new coalfield. According to Feng, the Shenhua Group has obtained four exploration areas out of the total 12. The coal reserves could become the third "national energy base" for China's largest domestic coal producer, which owns the Eastern Shendong coalfield in Inner Mongolia and the Yulin coalfield in Shaanxi. In addition, the Shenhua Group also plans to construct a thermal power plant with five 600-MW generation units at the coalfield, as well as a CTL (coal-to-liquids) projects with annual production capacity of over 10 mln tons. -TW interfax.com
