We will find out soon enough Dan; Linc have been producing coal gas from underground combustion for some time (just flaring it at the present time) and the GTL demo plant is apparently almost ready to run. Coal gas differs from natural gas in this application. Sasol has been using it for many years in South Africa, and the Germans had it working in WW2 so it can be done. If it doesn't work economically they can still feed the gas into a turbine and produce grid power on demand. They intended to do that anyway with any excess or waste gas.
