Yes. This process was invented in the 1920s by Germany. The Coal is converted to a synthetic natural gas (syngas) though a process called Gasification. The syngas is then run through the Fischer-Tropsch process which, through a catalized process, is converted into liquid fuels. A major portion of South Africa's liquid fuels are produced through this process. A Coal-To-Liquid plant is currently in the final stages of the permitting process and expected to be online by 2012. The proposed $5.5 Billion facility in Wellsville, Ohio will produce 53,000 barrells a day of liquid fuels including diesel (or jet fuel) and naptha.

Is oil and coal the same thing?
One can think of coal and oil as being different forms of carbon-based fuel. Coal would be the solid state of fossil fuel. Oil would be the liquid state of fossil fuel. While natural gas would be the gas state of fossil fuel. Fossil fuel in different state of matter can undergo phase transition by applying energy. Thus there are processes that convert coal into oil and natural gas or from natural gas into liquid form.
Is fossil fuel liquid?
Some fossil fuels are liquid (oil) some are solid (coal) and some are gas (natural gas)
What is the liquid form of a fossil fuel?
GAS I take it this is an American answering. As a British person, OIL is a liquid fossil fuel, COAL is a solid fossil fuel and NATURAL GAS is a gaseous fossil fuel.
Is oil a base or liquid?
it is a liquid since oil is pretty much like coal
What is an example of a liquid fossil fuel?
Oil is a liquid fossil fuel.
What are solid fuel?
Coal is a solid, Natural gas is a gas and Oil is a liquid.

What does fuel weigh?
When weighing a fuel its always the same i.e. Ton of coal is the same as 1 ton of Oil is the same as 1 ton of liquid gas.
What is kinds of fuel?
Petrol, Oil, Diesel, Wood, Coal, Electricity, Nuclear, Natural Gas, Propane, Wind.

Why can oil be transported aroundbritain through pipelines but coal cannot?
Coal is solid and oil is a liquid.
Is coal not a fossil fuel?
Coal is a fossil fuel. The major fossil fuels are natural gas, crude oil and coal.
What type of fuel is coal and oil?
fossil
