The underground gasification of coal produces a high quality synthetic gas that can be processed to provide fuels for power generation, diesel fuels, jet fuels and hydrogen.
Underground Gasification of Coal (UCG) is the gasification of coal where it sits in the ground, and, as such, avoids many of the expenses and disadvantages of traditional mining, whilst generating a fuel with a lower emissions profile potentially similar to that of natural gas. The ratio of worldwide inferred to proven mineable coal resources is about 6:1, indicating that the potential increase in recoverable resources using UCG is enormous, with a total gas volume
estimate on the order of 6,900 Tcf.

Pre-combustion removal of CO2
When processing the syngas produced in the coal gasification process we remove as much of the CO2 as possible. The methods used are more efficient and cost effective than post combustion methods.
Operational Locations
We are currently in discussions with authorities in the UK to confirm the site of our first UK project. Acting with partners we are also investigating other locations in continental Europe.
