- Ministry of Coal signed Coal Mine Development and Production Agreements for four coal blocks with UCG provisions.
- This marks the first use of Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) in India’s commercial coal mining.
- UCG converts coal into synthetic gas (syngas) underground without physical mining.
- Syngas contains hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane and is used in fertilisers, petrochemicals and fuels.
- It helps utilise deep or unworkable coal reserves and reduces dependence on imported natural gas and naphtha.
