Abstract
Prior to major discovery of crude oil, during the 19th and early part of 20th century chemicals from coal was a well established practice. From 1040s and beyond availability f low cost crude oil and expanding refining capacity industry switched to crude oil based feed stocks. However, by 1990 due to significant increase in crude oil price the industry started looking into conversion of low cost coal and natural gas for the production of petrochemicals. This chapter discusses some of the modern technologies of coal and natural gas conversion to chemicals.
