Underground Coal Gasification Projects
Carbon Energy has developed an underground coal gasification (UCG) facility producing syngas and has fed up to 1.5MW of electricity into the grid in a power station trial. It recently scaled down activities on site pending Queensland Government approvals and financial backing to develop a commercial scale project. | www.carbonenergy.com.au
Linc Energy began UCG operations here in 1999 and has established five gasifiers producing syngas. The project also includes a gas-to- liquids demonstration plant. | www.lincenergy.com
MetroCoal has identified deposits suitable for underground coal gasification, subject to State Government approval, and hopes to develop a power generation unit on site. | www.metrocoal.com.au
The Bligh Government halted Cougar Energy's operations at this site due to environmental concerns. Cougar Energy is appealing that decision and seeking damages. | www.cougarenergy.com.au
Cougar Energy has been assessing the underground coal gasification potential of its coal deposit at Wandoan, but put development plans on hold pending the resolution of the dispute with the Queensland Government at Kingaroy. | www.cougarenergy.com.au |
