Texas scientists test gasification to recover lignite deposits
Texas A&M University researchers plan a $275,000 gasification trial starting in May to extract near surface and deep lignite in Texas. The process burns coal underground to produce gas shipped to plants for electricity, with potential cost of $1.50 to $2 per million BTU. The effort involves industry partners and could enlarge energy supply at current prices.
