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.
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is an industrial gasification process, which is carried out in nonmined coal seams. It involves injection of a gaseous oxidizing agent, usually oxygen or air, and bringing the resulting product gas to the surface through production wells drilled from the surface.
