Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Synfuels produced from coal are generally expected to play a minor role as an energy resource due to their high cost and environmental impact. They are not as versatile as solid coal and are not readily available in underground reserves. While they may be produced in other countries besides the United States, their use is not widespread due to these factors. They also have a higher carbon footprint than natural gas or petroleum-based fuels, making them the dirtiest burning of all fossil fuels.
