Qld's energy to recieve Chinese and Vietnamese Linc
Wednesday 28 May 2008
Queensland Smart State company Linc Energy Ltd will partner with Vietnamese and Japanese companies in an Underground Coal Gasification project in northern Vietnam.
A Memorandum of Understanding between Linc Energy, Vietnamese company Vinacomin, and their Japanese partner Marubeni was signed yesterday in the presence of Queensland Minister for Trade John Mickel and the Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung.
This is the second announcement Linc has made to shareholders this week, after confirming another MOU had been signed with Chinese Huadian Coal Industry Group to expand into the region.
As part of the agreement Vinacomin will invest US$5 million into Linc Energy and Linc will also be paid by the consortium to undertake stage 1 of the project, a trial Underground Coal Gasification field in the Red River Delta.
"Stage one of the project is to demonstrate that the coal deposit in the Red River Delta in northern Vietnam is suitable for Underground Coal Gasification," says Mickel.
"To put this project in perspective, it is expected to produce enough underground coal gas to generate electricity to power between 1.5 and two million homes in Vietnam. Eventually the plans are that it will power up to six million Vietnam homes with cleaner energy."When the gas is burned, it produces a lower yield of carbon dioxide per unit of energy compared with coal.
"This means that Linc Energy, which is already a world leader in underground coal gasification with projects in Queensland, along with Marubeni and their Vietnamese partner, will be delivering energy and significant environmental benefits to the people of northern Vietnam."
Underground coal gasification, or UCG, is a term used to describe a process whereby difficult-tomine coal deposits can be turned into a gas for energy generation, or further refined to produce a diesel fuel. Both products are environmentally more sustainable than their comparable more traditional coal products.
Not very many posts in this thread of late. Linc now hovering at the $4 mark.
I'm guessing quite a few forum members have sold out for the large profits on offer?
