Underground Coal Gasification

Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) is redefining energy production by converting coal seams into syngas, a valuable synthetic fuel. Unlike traditional coal gasification, UCG accesses uneconomical reserves with reduced environmental impact, increasing syngas production by 20-30% and enabling an additional 500 Mn tonnes of syngas processing by 2035.

Key highlights assessed:
✔ Innovators: Companies like Linc Energy and Ergo Exergy are driving cleaner, more efficient gasification technologies.
✔ Technologies: Advanced gasification systems and proprietary innovations enabling high-quality syngas production.
✔ Challenges: Tackling impurities, greenhouse gas emissions, and operational inefficiencies.
✔ Opportunities: Lower environmental impact, reduced costs, and access to previously uneconomical coal seams.

At FutureBridge, we empower mining companies to enhance syngas extraction operations through emerging technologies, optimized strategies, and regulatory compliance. Gain actionable insights into the underground coal gasification ecosystem, discover industry leaders, and explore the role of regulations in driving sustainable UCG operations in this WhatIf infographic.
