Exploring Geological Parameters Sensitive To Underground Coal Gasification, Zhou Ze, Yi Tongsheng, Qin Yong, Zhou Yongfeng, Wang Lingxia, Kong Weimin
Coal Geology & Exploration
Compared to ground coal chemical plants, underground coal gasification (UCG) requires gasifiers as geological bodies. Accurately understanding geological conditions is a critical prerequisite for UCG. To minimize the geological risks involved in UCG siting, this study systematically explored the geological parameters sensitive to UCG based on the intricate geological conditions of Guizhou Province, China. By collecting and organizing the exploration data of coal resources in Guizhou, this study established mathematical models for normalized, graded parameter value assignment, the algorithm of parameter weight vectors, and the algorithm of parameter weight product, with the purpose of obtaining the accurate quantitative data of …

Coal Geology & Exploration
Driven by the dual demands for achieving the goals of peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality and for ensuring national energy security, underground coal gasification (UCG) in China is embracing a new historical development opportunity. To scientifically formulate a route for making technological breakthroughs in UCG and accelerate its industrialization, this study analyzed the history of UCG field tests, dividing UCG into three stages: UCG based on coal mines, vertical/directional wells, and horizontal wells. By exploring the underlying logic that propelled innovations in UCG technologies in different stages, this study delved into the technical and non-technical reasons for the …
Ucg Pilot Tests In Eu Countries: A Review Of History And Progress, Jin Lili, Yang Lei, Wu Yarong, Wang Xiaofang, Yi Tongsheng, Qin Yong
Ucg Pilot Tests In Eu Countries: A Review Of History And Progress, Jin Lili, Yang Lei, Wu Yarong, Wang Xiaofang, Yi Tongsheng, Qin Yong
Coal Geology & Exploration
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is an important way of transforming China’s coal energy structure. European Union (EU) countries explored UCG for over 80 years, and their rich experience can be used as a reference for promoting UCG industrialization in China. The UK prepared for UCG pilot tests for the first time in the world. From 1944 to 2014, based on the experience of the former Soviet Union and the United States, EU countries successively implemented at least 12 UCG pilot test projects in three stages, making important contributions to the progress in UCG technologies. They invented the blind-hole method and …

Coal Geology & Exploration
The industrialization of underground coal gasification (UCG), which is conducive to the transformation and development of the coal energy structure and the improvement in the low-carbon utilization level of coal resources, is an environmentally friendly energy development technology in line with the sustainable development strategy. The international energy crisis from the 1980s to the 1990s prompted the United States to vigorously develop UCG technologies. Accordingly, this country has successively carried out six series of UCG pilot tests, which contribute greatly to the progress in UCG technologies and provided the critical foundation for the formation of modern UCG technologies worldwide. This …
