Techno-Economic Comparison of Onshore and Offshore Underground Coal Gasification End-Product Competitiveness

Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) enables the utilisation of coal reserves that are currently not economically exploitable due to complex geological boundary conditions. Hereby, UCG produces a high-calorific synthesis gas that can be used for generation of electricity, fuels and chemical feedstock...
