The authors (RS, CD and MSD) thank the International Joint Research Program of the New Energy and Industrial Technology Organization (NEDO), Japan for their support. Part of the work by RS is supported by a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (No. 09243211) from the Ministry of Education and Science of Japan. The MIT work was partly supported by the NSF (DMR 95-10093). 

The best-known processes are the IGOR (Germany), HTI (America), and NEDOL (Japan). The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) finished a 1501 coal per day coal liquefaction pilot plant in 1998. Shenhua Group Corporation is building a 40001 coal per day (1 Mt oil/year) commercial plant in China. 

Nedol [New Energy Development Organization liquifaction] A coal liquifaction process in development in Japan by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), Tokyo. Crushed coal is mixed with a pyrite catalyst and slurried in a hydrogenated heavy oil. Liquifaction takes place at 450°C, 170 bar. The overall oil yield is 59 percent. 

NEDO, Research and Development on Fuel Cell Power Generation Technology, published yearly by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization, Tokyo, Japan. 

The development of bio-based succinic acid production was carried out as the NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization, an implementing agency of METI in Japan) project from 2004 to 2006, and the possibility of bio-based materials was confirmed.
