Central City, Ky., may be the site of a new coal-to-natural-gas facility to be constructed by ConocoPhillips and Peabody Energy Corp., according to this article in the Houston Business Journal. Designated Kentucky NewGas, the facility is expected to adopt low-emissions design criteria that will result in less than 5 percent of the emissions of a similarly sized traditional coal plant.
