re: the rest of the story: Surprised I is.

Key phrases jump out:
low greenhouse gas emission
proven technology following trial underground
gasification, pipe to surface and surface burnoff
already done, therefore low risk.
small (40MW) capitalization is economic
compatible in scale with MW sized VRBs
no mining cost to utilise otherwise inaccessible
(read 'cheap as chips') deep coal seems
UK entity (big capital market)
agreements to extend operations to India, Pakistan,
UK and Europe.

Surprising and not strictly renewable energy.

However it involves PCE in another emerging technology compatible with existing VRB licenses

It may expose PCE to UK/European operations and funding.

More details please.
