The Wyoming Business Council is asking the Idaho National Laboratory to review a private company's plan to build a coal-to-gasoline plant in Carbon County. DKRW Advanced Fuels applied to the business council in early December asking the state to purchase up to $300 million in industrial development bonds to help finance the roughly $2-billion project. The company intends to build the plant near Medicine Bow, a town of some 300 people about 100 miles west of Cheyenne. Robert Kelly, chairman of DKRW Advanced Fuels, says construction on the plan could begin as soon as next year and be completed by 2015. He says it would use a proprietary process to transform coal mined at the site into 10,600 barrels of gasoline per day.
