Underground Gasification of Coal

Abstract

Coal assumes an important role as energy souces along with hydraulic power in our country. In order to supply energy at low cost each coal mining company has tried to carry out the rationalization of industry in many respects.
Hereafter it is necessary for us not only to promote the mechanized extraction of coal, but also to study positively the new method of extraction of coal namely, “the underground gasification process” and especially to establish the new method which is suitable for the conditions of our country.
Based on the tests which we have made in our coal field, we have made a plan of this enterprise and made preliminary calculation of the cost.
According to this plan the cost of underground gasificated gas, in generating electrical energy, will make great promise in enhancing coal's status.
We would like to promote this research with good hopes.
