India's Ministry of Coal initiates first UCG pilot project in Jharkhand, led by ECL, to convert coal into valuable gases for energy and development purposes.
India's Ministry of Coal has initiated its first pilot project for underground coal gasification (UCG) in Jharkhand, led by Eastern Coalfields Limited (ECL). The goal is to convert coal into valuable gases like methane, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide through in-situ gasification. These gases can be used for producing synthetic natural gas, chemical feedstocks for fuels, fertilizers, and explosives. The two-year project, consisting of two phases, will contribute significantly to India's energy sector, enhancing energy security and fostering sustainable development.
