The main objective of WP2 is to determine the conditions and parameters of the Oltenia deposit and other European deposits, and to learn from other phenomena like coal fires, with the aim of site selection and transfer potential.
The specific objectives are:
- Determination of the geological, tectonical, hydrogeological and mining conditions and the coal quality parameters of the Oltenia deposit, and to evaluate the suitability of the geological conditions in other European deposits;
- Investigate analogues between UCG and phenomena of other coal combustion;
- Setup of site selection criteria;
- Selection of suitable location for UCG test in Oltenia deposit;
- Transfer of findings to other European coal sites.
