Underground coal gasification (UCG) is a gasification process used to produce gas from coal in situ by injecting air or oxygen into nonmined coal seams and extracting the product gas via surface wells. The resulting synthetic gas ("syngas") can be used to produce electricity, as well as chemicals, liquid fuels, hydrogen and synthetic natural gas.
