Minimising CO2 Emissions from Coal Gasification
Traditional coal-to-liquid processes use gasification with excess steam to obtain hydrogen-rich syngas for downstream manufacturing of methanol or Fischer-Tropsch liquids. Such processes are shown to produce very large amounts of CO2 directly by the Water-Gas-Shift (WGS) reaction or, indirectly, by combustion in raising steam. It is …

Underground coal gasification
The Underground Coal Gasification process requires the steered drilling of boreholes into target coal seams (see figure 1). By inserting an electromagnetic source into the bottom of one borehole, a second borehole can be made to 'home in' on the electromagnetic signal until only a small pillar of a metre or two of coal separates the two ...

Coal Gasification
Coal gasification can also be carried out on seams that are still in place, the coal being converted to gaseous fuels without an intermediate mining operation. This process, known as in situ or underground gasification, typically involves drilling boreholes to intersect the seam in at least two places, and providing a passage for gas through the seam from one …
