Abstract
Process of producing a treated coal and combusting the treated coal, by heating the coal to remove volatiles and drying the product to produce a treated coal containing carbon and hydrogen. The treated coal is combusted by introducing a slipstream of natural gas alongside the treated coal in a quantity sufficient to sustain a stable burn in an industrial boiler configured to burn bituminous coals.
