Underground Coal Gasification Energy

Gasification is a process by which coal or other hydrocarbons are converted into a synthesis gas (syngas) at elevated pressures and temperatures, usually in a commercially purchased gasifier. Gasification can be used to create many products (electric power, liquid fuels, hydrogen, and synthetic gas) and provides great opportunities for pollution control, especially sulfur, nitrous oxides, and mercury. Underground coal gasification (UCG) converts coal in-situ into a synthesis gas through the same chemical reactions.
