Underground coal gasification (UCG) ... The notable products in a coal pyrolysis process encompass CO, H 2, CH 4, CO 2, H 2 O, char, and to a lesser amount tar and hydrocarbons. It is thus evident that the generation of H 2 occurs principally in the reduction and pyrolysis categories.
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is a gasification process used to produce gas from coal in situ by injecting air or oxygen into nonmined coal seams and extracting the product gas via surface wells. The resulting synthetic gas ("syngas") can be used to produce electricity, as well as chemicals, liquid fuels, hydrogen and synthetic natural gas.
The process of underground coal gasification (UCG) is considered to be one of the forms of clean coal technologies for obtaining gaseous fuel and synthesis gas from hard coal (Burton et al. 2006; Bhutto et al. 2013; Cough 2009).In the situation of increasingly smaller coal resources available for economically justified mining and the unfavorable impact of coal combustion on the environment ...
1Introduction. Underground coal gasification (UCG) is the process in which air, steam and oxygen are injected into the insitu coal seams. Then the coal is ignited and converted into syngas (such as H 2, CO, CH 4, and CO 2) [[1], [2], [3]].During the UCG process, the temperature in the gasification face and cavity can normally reach °C [[1], [2]].
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is the process of directly recovering energy as combustible gases such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide by combusting unmined coal resources in situ. The UCG process is an invisible phenomenon, in which fracturing activity at high temperature (>1000 °C) in coal seams expands the gasification zone and increases the combustible components of the product gas.
The Controlled Retracting Injection Point (CRIP) process for underground coal gasification (UCG) was successfully demonstrated during the Rocky Mountain I (RM I) field test conducted in the winter of 198788 near Hanna, Wyoming. The basic features for the CRIP process are its ability to maintain oxidant injection low in the coal seam by ...
Underground coal gasification (UCG) has its own reaction characteristics with the growth of the combustion cavity because the coal seam is fixed while the gasification face moves.

The idea of underground coal gasification (UCG) was first put forward by the famous Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1888.
