G'Day mbeard,
It would pay you to do some basic searching to find out the vast difference between Coal Seam Gas (CSG) and Underground Coal Gasification (UGC).

As I understand it, CSG gas (Methane) is to be liquified for export and UCG gas, (Syngas) is to be used by Cougar Energy initially for electricity generation, and later for GTL (Gas To Liquids) and possibly other uses such as fertilizer production much further down the proverbial track.

The technology of UCG is not flawed,but the understanding of it certainly is.
