| Description | Using Illinois coal in transportation has varied environmental consequences. This study calculated the total $CO_{2}$ emissions from gasoline and eight other vehicle propulsion methods involving Illinois coal. Vehicle propulsion methods of ultra super critical electrical cycle, integrated gasification combined electrical cycle, pulverized coal in a sub-critical electrical cycle, and electricity from a hydrogen fuel cell emitted the lowest $CO_{2}$. Vehicle propulsion methods using Illinois coal to produce ethanol, butanol, and integrated gasification combined electrical cycle/ethanol emitted $CO_{2}$ comparable to gasoline. The vehicle propulsion method of Fischer-Tropsch diesel emitted the most $CO_{2}$. It was concluded that energy efficiency and $CO_{2}$ offset from agricultural growth and by-products were the most influential factors of $CO_{2}$ emissions. |
