The Integrated Two-Stage Liquefaction (ITSL) concept has received considerable attention by many laboratories and has emerged as one of the most promising technology in direct coal liquefaction. This paper has the objective to divulge the most recent achievements of an evolved ITSL process, pointing out the unfinished work, and to expand the concept of the low-severity staged approach which resulted from the evolved ITSL process and emerged as the most desirable pathway for the direct production of marketable liquid fuels from coals. The ultimate objective is to interest the researchers dedicated to fundamentals of coal liquefaction toward the technological needs and the understanding of reaction mechanism, kinetics and thermodynamic limitations residing with the novel, low-severity staged coal liquefaction approach.
