Underground Coal Gasification and Combustion
Underground Coal Gasification and Combustion provides a comprehensive overview of the development of UCG, its current situation, and likely future directions. After an introductory part reviewing the history of UCG, following sections focus on UCG technology and modern UCG projects. Final chapters address prospective technologies. Underground coal gasification (UCG) processes convert solid coal resources that would otherwise not be mined into syngas. The resulting syngas can be used for power generation, fuel production, or other petrochemical processes. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in UCG as it may offer financial, social, and environmental benefits over conventional coal extraction methods.
