Underground Coal Gasification and Combustion
Michael S Blinderman and Alexander Y
Klimenko
Woodhead Publishing 2018
Underground Coal Gasification and Combustion provides an overview of underground coal
gasification technology, its current status and future directions.
Comprehensive in approach, the book covers history, science, technology,
hydrogeology, rock mechanics, environmental performance, economics, regulatory
and commercial aspects of UCG projects as well as analysis of underground fires
examined from the perspective of the accumulated UCG experience.
The first book on the subject in
forty years, it is unique in analysing more than a century of global UCG
developments by experts from Australia, Canada, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, United
Kingdom, the USA and Uzbekistan.
