Underground coal gasification (UCG) is just an industrialised gasification process that takes place in coal seams that haven't been mined. It entails injecting a gaseous oxidising agent, often oxygen or air, and transporting the resultant product gas to the surface via production gas wells drilled from the surface.

Coal is an important source for power generation, currently supplying 41% of the global electricity demand. Also significant quantities of coal are employed in metallurgical processes, gasification, and cement industries as well as raw materials for activated carbon and some other industrial purposes [1].The limitation of the conventional coal mining methods for extracting seams located at ...

With 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.

Underground coal gasification (UCG) is a promising option for the future use of unworked coal. UCG permits coal to be gasified in situ within the coal seam, via a matrix of coal is ignited and air is injected underground to sustain a fire, which is essentially used to "mine" the coal and produce a combustible synthetic gas which can be used for industrial heating, power ...

the gasification process needs to be monitored and controlled to ensure that the underground gasification has a stable combustible gas composition and calorific value, as well as a higher gas yield and gasification rate [1]. UCG is a very complex physical and chemical process, and many factors affect the composition and quality of syngas.

By igniting in the coal seam and injecting gas agent, underground coal gasification (UCG) causes coal to undergo thermochemical reactions in situ and, thus, to be gasified into syngas for power generation, hydrogen production, and storage. Compared with traditional mining technology, UCG has the potential sustainable advantages in energy, environment, and the economy. The paper reviewed the ...

The idea of underground coal gasification (UCG) was first put forward by the famous Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1888. He suggested, "The purpose of coal mining is the extraction of the energy composition in coal, rather than the coal mining itself," and also pointed out the basic approach to realize industrialization of coal gasification.

Research on hydrogen production from coal gasification is mainly focused on the formation of CO and H 2 from coal and water vapor in hightemperature environments. However, in the process of underground coal gasification, the water gas shift reaction of lowtemperature steam will absorb a lot of heat, which makes it difficult to maintain the combustion of coal seams in the process of ...

Underground coal gasification (UCG) has been shown to be a promising method for deep coal resources. A series of complicated chemical reactions can induce a considerable change in the pore structure of coal and thus promote the UCG process in turn. Currently, most studies on the effect of elevated temperature on the pore structure of coal were not involved in an air atmosphere, bringing a ...
