DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory prepared this environmental assessment to analyze the potential environmental impacts of providing funding for the proposed Early Lead Mini Fischer-Tropsch Refinery. The early lead facility would be located at the University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research in Fayette County Kentucky.
DOE prepared an SEA to this EA due to the updated project design, which resulted in changes to the upstream gasification and acid gas cleanup components of the facility. See the SEA and the FONSI below.
