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.
WhatsApp: +86 188380728291Introduction. 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]].

WhatsApp: +86 18838072829Underground coal gasification (UCG) is an industrial process which converts coal into product gas. UCG is an insitu gasification process, carried out in nonmined coal seams using injection of oxidants and steam. The product gas is brought to the surface through production wells drilled from the surface. The predominant product gases are methane, hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829With underground coal gasification (UCG), the actual process takes place underground, generally below 1,200 feet. The underground setting provides both the feedstock source as well as pressures comparable to that in an aboveground gasifier. With most UCG facilities, two wells are drilled on either side of an underground coal seam.
