Sec. 13340. Low-rank coal research and development

bituminous coals, including, but not limited to, the following areas--
        (1) high value-added carbon products;
        (2) fuel cell applications;
        (3) emissions control and combustion efficiencies;
        (4) coal water fuels and underground coal gasification;
        (5) distillates; and
        (6) any other technologies which will assist in the development 
    of niche markets for lignites and sub-bituminous coals.
