Underground coal gasification uses paired wells in a coal seam: one an oxidant injection well, the other the syngas producer well. CIRI), an Alaska Native corporation, is proposing an underground coal gasification (UCG) project that would use the resulting syngas to fuel a new 100 MW combined cycle power plant. Source: CIRI.

When the temperature gets colder, they can actually go through the gas to particle conversion process, creating new particles and increasing the overall particle number concentration. There are no factories or farms, and planes are thought to make up most of the pollutants in this area. The emission sources are limited up there.

Natural gas will play a leading role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions over the next several decades, largely by replacing older, inefficient coal plants with highly efficient combined-cycle gas generation, according to a major new interim report out from MIT.

Gasification is emerging as a core technology for the production of chemicals and cleaner power, and refers to a process for converting solid fuels, including coal, biomass, and wastes, into either fuel gas (containing CH 4 and some N 2 usually) or syngas (containing mainly H 2 and CO) for subsequent conversion into fuels and chemicals.
