Thanks for the reply PimpMyStock.
Here is a bit of info that took about 10 minutes to dig up.
Excuse the Chinglish.
"The technical advantages of burning Coal Water Slurry
On behalf of coal-water slurry as a substitute for heavy fuel oil and crude oil for boiler and furnace combustion. Its main advantages are:
(1) burn better. Coal-water slurry viscosity of heavy oil below, easy-to-conditioning, adjustable load to a minimum of 40%. Replacement of heavy oil in the boiler combustion, the combustion efficiency of 96% to 99%, the efficiency of boilers in about 90%, to reach the same level of fuel combustion to facilitate adjustment, stable and reliable operation.
(2) environmental effect. As the temperature of burning coal slurry in 1200 ~ 1300 ?, coal and fuel than the low-temperature 100 ~ 150 ?, coal-water slurry coal is low sulfur and ash content reasons, fueled with coal-water slurry after the S02 and NOx emissions levels lower And the other in the preparation of coal-water slurry in the process of desulfurization agent can be added to the effect desulfurization, desulfurization rate of 40%. Low-noise and dust environment. Slag activity, after burning ash can use as a mixture of cement, there is no secondary pollution.
(3) technology has many advantages. In the course of application of wet pulp mill, grinding low-temperature (50 ~ 60 ?), safety; coal with low ash content coal-water slurry, the boiler heating surface wear and tear than coal-fired, low maintenance costs; not prepared steel Coal and coal-preparation market, wasted ash only covers the ash field area of only 1 / 4.
(4) to burn coal-water slurry to below investment in coal burning. On behalf of coal-water slurry oil can make full use of existing equipment, to simplify the production process, low investment. And to burn coal than to burn coal-water slurry to the cost of burning coal is only 1 / 3 to 1 / 2, the transformation of time to burn coal only 1 / 3, oil-fired boiler to burn coal-water slurry Significant economic benefits Forward."

So is a cleaner cheaper substitute for heavy fuel oil and crude oil for boiler and furnace combustion.
Just one company that builds such plants.
"We have liquid fuel power plants in 163 countries with a total combined output of 38 GW."

So.... there is already a massive market in heavy fuel oil and crude oil for boiler and furnace combustion.
and... there is no difference in the transportation of heavy fuel oil and crude oil.
