Britons Explore Underground Coal Gasification For Industry
British scientists on the Yorkshire Derbyshire border test underground gasification of coal to pipe gas from mine to factory. At Newman Spry, a four inch horizontal shaft and two verticals are used to ignite coal with an incendiary and sustain gas flow by compressed air. Gas may be low value but advances in gas turbine use enable operation on low grade fuel. If successful, thin seams only can be gasified, saving high grade coal for export or other uses.
