COAL2GAS is a research project co-funded by the European Commission under the Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS).

COAL2GAS is addressing underground gasification of lignite seams in order to increase the level of utilization of abandoned reserves by combining a well known but still not mature technology (UCG) under special conditions, i.e. lignite resources in previously active conventional mining areas.
