Summary
The effect of a hypothetical large-scale coal liquefaction industry on the industrial infrastructure of the nation is examined in terms of the ability of the U.S. steel industry and related fabricators to provide the requisite types of steel and steel products in the needed quantities. Two possibly critical areas identified in the Federal Energy Administration's Project Independence Blueprint, Final Task Force Report, are examined in particular: production of heavy steel plate and large pressure vessel fabrication. In order to meet the requirements of a large program the normal lead time to increase steel production capacity is about 5 years. It is concluded that both the steel industry and the fabricators of large pressure vessels appear capable of fulfilling their roles in such a development provided that adequate advance planning occurs and that the required fuel and raw materials inputs are available in the quantities needed.
