This is old technology. De-polymerization would be more cost effective, and can be used with other things like agricultural waste. The Ag. waste test plant can produce a barrel for $15 per barrel. Probably can do coal for much less.

I seem to remember that this was in my HS chem class 30 years ago. A local power plant used to use that technology years earlier.
