Coal gas tech could boost QLD economy
Email Print Normal font Large font May 12, 2008 - 5:02PM
The commercialisation of underground coal gasification (UCG) technology could potentially generate up to $600 million for the Queensland economy each year, according to a report from PricewaterhouseCoopers.
UCG is the process of extracting coal from the ground through its transformation into a combustible gas for power generation or as a feedstock in the production of diesel or fertilisers.
The method is not widely used and PwC said the technology, while not new, is potentially at the transition point to mainstream commercial implementation.
PwC said UCG could potentially increase global accessible coal reserves due to its ability to utilise coal resources that are otherwise considered uneconomic to mine.
The World Energy Council's 2007 Survey on Energy Resources estimates that 44 billion tonnes or 45 per cent of Australia's proven in place reserves is available for UCG extraction, PwC said.
The report estimates that a UCG industry producing equivalent to 10 per cent of the current QLD coal production could potentially contribute close to $500 million per year to the state and over $160 million per year in royalties.
Australian groups Linc Energy Ltd, Cougar Energy Ltd and Carbon Energy, a joint venture Metex Resources Ltd and the CSIRO, are investigating the commercialisation of UCG technology.
