Coal gasification: Underground coal gasification - a clean, indigenous energy option. Michael Green. Energy World April 2007, P. 16-17

01/04/2007

Underground coal gasification (UCG) is well placed to meet high environmental emission standards and to provide lower cost carbon capture from pre-combustion, high pressure gas which reaches the surface from deep coal seams. The energy chain for UCG also scores well because the energy needed for transportation is negligible and there are virtually no leaks of methane and other gases to atmosphere. Dr Michael Green, Director of the UCG Partnership puts the case.
