Yes, Carbon Energy is being pretty vague - make that totally vague - not giving us any hard data. It sounds like you are a chemical engineer? If you're curious about the efficiency of the process in general, Carbon and several other of the Aussie companies claim that UCG is the most efficient way to mine coal - extracts more energy than mining, and much more than just piping off the coal bed methane. See slide 6 of this Carbon Energy presentation. metex.com.au Slide 18 of this Liberty Resources presentation lists the claims various companies are making about how many barrels of oil can be made from 1 ton of gassified coal (1 to 2 barrels). libertyresources.com.au Slides 22 and 23 from this Linc Energy presentation address some of the CO2 issues. lincenergy.com.au
