There has been increased interest in firing wood waste as a supplement to coal in either pulverized coal (PC) or cyclone boilers at 1—5% of heat input. This appHcation has been demonstrated by such electric utilities as Santee-Cooper, Tennessee Valley Authority, Georgia Power, Dehnarva, and Northern States Power. Cofiring wood waste with coal in higher percentages, eg, 10—15% of heat input, in PC and cyclone boilers is being carefully considered by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). This practice may have the potential to maximize the thermal efficiency of waste fuel combustion. If this practice becomes widespread, it will offer another avenue for use of fuels from waste. 

Coal Liquefaction at Wilsonville. Starting ia 1974 the Advanced Coal Liquefaction R D Facihty at WilsonviUe, Alabama operated a 6 t/d pilot plant and studied various coal Hquefaction processiag schemes. The facihty, cosponsored by the DOE, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and Amoco Oil Co, was shut down ia early 1992.
