Coal Gasification Viable Method of Accessing Difficult Coal Reserves

Mining Weekly reported that coal gasification has become a legitimate, viable method of accessing deep, otherwise unrecoverable coal reserves, according to the International Energy Agency Clean Coal Centre.

As quoted in the market report:

UCG, a process of converting coal into gas while it is still underground, has been under investigation by Eskom at Majuba for the last six years and is the process which African Carbon Energy (Africary) is taking steps to implement at a proposed UCG-to-electricity project at Theunissen in the Free State.
