Summary
This source category consists of producers, importers, and exporters of coal-based liquid fuels listed on Table MM-1 of the rule. A producer of coal-to-liquid (CTL) products is any owner or operator who converts coal into liquid products (e.g., gasoline, diesel) using the Fischer-Tropsch or an alternative process. Importers and exporters are defined as:
- Importers who bring coal-based petroleum products or natural gas liquids (NGLs) into the United States from a foreign country must report if the quantity of coal-based petroleum products imported is equivalent to 25,000 metric tons (tonnes) of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) or more.
- Exporters who transfer coal-based petroleum products or NGLs from the United States to another country or to an affiliate in another country must report if the quantity of coal-based petroleum products exported is equivalent to 25,000 tonnes of CO2e or more.
