Bloodwood Creek trial produces positive energy results Tuesday, 2 December 2008 CARBON Energy’s commercial-scale underground coal gasification trial at its Bloodwood Creek site in the Surat Basin has confirmed the site can produce syngas suitable for power generation. The company said the trial is the final stages of an air test and in the fourth week of the 100-day trial. The company also said it expects to move to the steam and oxygen trial as early as next week, where a combination of oxygen and steam will be used to produce a hydrogen-rich syngas suitable for use as a high value chemical feedstock. Carbon’s $20 million syngas trial is designed to demonstrate the sustainability and consistency of the company’s commercial-scale UCG syngas production, and has had national and international attention. Once the trial is successfully completed, the company plans to pursue the feasibility of constructing – in partnership with existing business partners – a $1 billion ammonia plant and a separate $1-2 billion manufacturing facility near the Surat Basin site. Meanwhile, the company has also said its trial in MDL 374 is not dependent on any decision by the Queensland government on the issue of overlapping tenements. “There has been a great deal of discussion in the press recently initiated by some aggressive lobbying by international giant British Gas, that UCG will be locked out of the Queensland market in order to accede to demands by coal seam gas players for so-called certainty,” chief operating officer Andrew Dash said. “The Queensland government is very aware of the significant potential these developments [UCG developments] bring to communities in rural Queensland and the importance of UCG in making these projects happen,” he said. petroleumnews.net
