Adnyamathanha vs Energy Minister, page-7

You would think that the ABC would do some basic research into ISG before putting up this rubbish.

To quote from the LCK website.

"For the ISG reactions to commence, air is introduced through the inlet well and an initiation device is used to create very high temperatures. As the temperature and oxygen concentration reach optimum levels, a series of reactions convert the solid fuel into syngas, which is then extracted through the outlet well.

The ISG process is a chemical conversion from solid coal to gas rather than a combustible conversion (‘burning’ which would create heat and carbon dioxide rather than syngas. "

Setting fire to the coal probably overstates the process a bit. But what would they know......................
