Underground Coal Gasification (UCG)
Asset overview
UCG is the process of gasifying coal in-situ, that is, where it
lies underground to produce UCG syngas, which includes
hydrogen (H2), carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH4)
and other gases.
UCG enables access to uneconomic, ‘stranded’ coal and
eliminates the need for mining coal and processing it
through surface gasification plant, minimising surface
footprint and environmental impact.
UCG is capable of providing long-term regional energy
supply through downstream production of gas, power, and
liquid fuels.
Parties have the option to acquire all rights and intellectual
property in relation to UCG.
UCG visual representation - https://vimeo.com/63128822
UCG and associated practices are currently subject to review by the
Queensland Government and may be the subject of legislative reforms.
Track record
Operated five UCG gasifiers evolving from the
conventional technology using linked vertical
wells to its commercial “breakthrough”
technology
Commercial contracts and joint ventures,
which may be assignable or renegotiated,
with:
 Exxaro Resources in South Africa
 Sugico in Indonesia
Developed its proprietary UCG technology
using horizontally directionally drilled wells,
which offer compelling advantages
Demonstrated precise gasification control and
oxygen blown mode of operations to produce
high quality syngas
17 applications and published patents and 16
registered trademarks
Other assets and options
 SGX-listed shell
 Whole of group transaction or recapitalisation
 Queensland coal tenements.
