Key Facts on UCG

UCG is the in situ conversion of coal in to a combustible high quality synthetic gas that can be processed to provide fuels for power generation, diesel fuels, jet fuels and h

UCG in combination with CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) an attractive route to carbon abatement from coal, as the process has all the benefits of pre-combustion processing, normally associated with gasification.

UCG Research Projects, Pilot and Feasabilty studies are currently underway in most coal producing countries. The first commercial UK pilot has started and Asia, S Africa, Australia are among the countries with active UCG programmes.

UCG is both an extraction and a coal conversion process in one step.
