Zusammenfassung:An economical, efficient process is provided employing coal, particularly subbituminous coal, as a fuel source for the production of distillate fuels and methanol. A hydroliquefier is operated under severe conditions to provide a high net yield of light distillates. The vacuum residue, which is produced above, is transferred as a slurry to a partial oxidation gasifier where synthesis gas is produced as feedstock for methanol synthesis. Gaseous hydrocarbon contaminants are separated and used to generate additional synthesis gas, or to supply other fuel requirements.
