The partners have agreed to assess and identify coal deposits in Indonesia for application of underground coal gasification (UCG) technology, and to prepare a preliminary study for their commercial development. Given Mongolia's fast-growing economy, the country is seeking ways take advantages of its vast coal resources to increase energy independence. PNNL uses technology to advance the understanding of clean coal. Coal Gasification and its Applications David A. Cognitive Radar—The Knowledge-Aided Fully Adaptive Approach Joseph R. That plan was shelved earlier this year because low natural gas prices currently make coal gasification less economical, but Tenaska still wants to build coal gasification capabilities into its proposed plant in case natural gas prices rise again. Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel in Moreover, most of coal consumptions are for electric power generations, with industrial consumptions of coal for steam and heat and for chemical and metallurgical processes being other major uses [5]. Coal has improved its long-term position as the world's most widely available fossil energy source with a very large resource base and economically recoverable reserves that are much greater than those of oil and gas. Syntroleum Corporation and Sasol has produced almost 1,5 billion barrels of synthetic fuel from about 800 million tonnes of coal since the first sample of synthetic oil from coal was produced fifty years ago at its Sasolburg plant near Johannesburg in South Africa on 23 August 1955. Towler and Maohong Fan 2011 9780815520498. Gasifier Rather than burning coal directly, gasification breaks down coal into its basic chemical constituents using high temperature and pressure. Coal Gasification and Its Applications by David A. Coal Gasification Opportunities for Mongolia. Green Car Congress has an article out on a Coal-To-Liquids project in Queensland that uses a new underground gasification process (via Energy Bulletin). IEPA spokeswoman Maggie Carson said the Taylorville permit could be reinstated, but Tenaska's subsidiary company in Illinois, Christian County Generation, will have to resubmit its application first. The company`s overarching strategy is to unlock value from its conventional coal projects in addition to progressing its unconventional coal gasification activities. Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) is a process for exploiting coal that cannot be mined because the seams are too deep, thin or fractured. Interest in Synthesis Energy Systems, Inc coal gasification technology has resulted in an agreement with the Hainan Dongfang Henghe Energy Development Company Ltd., based in Hainan Province, China, for a large scale $1.6 billion coal waste "The Jiangxi project with Henghe is an ideal large-scale commercial application of our technology for the conversion of very low quality and low cost fuels into high-value products like synthetic natural gas,” Rigdon added.
