The 1968 Henry H. Storch Award of the ACS Division of Fuel Chemistry was presented to Joseph H. Field of the U.S. Bureau of Mines. The award is given annually to the U.S. citizen who has contributed most to fundamental or engineering research on the chemistry and utilization of coal during the preceding five years. Field led the Bureau of Mines' synthesis pilot plant research at Bruceton, Pennsylvania, and was a major contributor to the development of oil-recirculation and hot-gas-recycle processes for coal hydrogenation and liquefaction.
