Abstract from DBPedia
    Coal liquefaction is a process of converting coal into liquid hydrocarbons: liquid fuels and petrochemicals. This process is often known as "Coal to X" or "Carbon to X", where X can be many different hydrocarbon-based products. However, the most common process chain is "Coal to Liquid Fuels" (CTL).

    石炭液化（せきたんえきか、英語：coal liquefaction または coal to liquids、略称：CTL）とは、石炭を原料に液体燃料を生産する技術である。
