Popis: Clean coal technologies are being demonstrated in research programs under both public and private sponsorship. Many of these technologies have potential international applications --- including markets in developing countries. To scope these potential markets and to match the appropriate technologies with these markets, a detailed evaluation has been undertaken which focuses on six countries. This evaluation suggests that markets for these technologies do exist in the international arena and that the technologies can be cost competitive with conventional and traditional alternatives. The identified markets include both new plant construction and refurbishing of existing facilities, especially where there is a desire to decrease the current dependence on imported oil. Potential niches for these technologies are discussed along with the implications for the ongoing research and development activities. 3 refs., 1 tab.
