More delays for Wyoming coal-to-gasoline plant

A Texas company planning a coal-to-gasoline plant near Medicine Bow may be in for more delays. Carbon County officials aren't sure about granting a permit extension for DKRW Advanced Fuels, which is planning the $1.75 billion plant. The newspaper says that county commissioners may ask the state's Industrial Siting Council to question the Houston company about its request for an extension for a permit first issued in 2008. Under its latest submitted plan, DKRW would start construction on the project by July 1, 2014, with a 4-year build schedule. Once operational, the plant would convert coal from a nearby mine into up to 11,700 barrels of gasoline a day.
