To be very specific about Section 29, I believe the answer is "no" unless the Congress adds to the Section in either the lame duck session or next year in the new Congress. 

Section 29 qualification periods are passed. I don't understand Section 29 to cover this activity now under any circumstances. Even if it did, the equipment causing the gasification would have to have been put into service on or before 30 June 1998, pursuant to an enforceable and binding contract executed on or before 31 December 1996.
