Coal India to Offer Blocks for Underground Coal Gasification

摘要

Coal India Ltd. (CIL) aims to auction two of its coal blocks for proposed underground coal-gasification (UCG) projects. According to a September 3 report from Economic Times (India), CIL “will invite a global expression of interest this month and engage the company that is ready to share the highest percentage of profit.” “The blocks to be offered are in Central Coalfields and Western Coalfields and have substantial reserves,” AK Debnath, managing director of CIL’s Central Mine Planning and Design Institute was quoted as saying. “These two blocks can be economically exploited for underground coal gasification.”
