• Leigh Creek Energy propose to construct and operate a small-scale Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) demonstration plant in the Leigh Creek coalfield (ex-mine site) in Northern South Australia.
• Site is located approximately 8.5 km from the nearest town Copley and 12km from Leigh Creek township

UCG Demonstration Plant Project
• This facility will involve the construction of an above ground plant (and associated infrastructure) and the establishment of a single below ground UCG gasifier chamber.
• The gasifier chamber will be 500 m at depth and approximately 30m long and 15m high at the conclusion of operations
• The demonstration plant is intended to be operated for a short period of time (approximately 2-3 months) to ascertain the technical and environmental performance of the process.
• As this is an exploration activity, the syngas produced is required to be thermally destroyed on site in a thermal oxidiser.

Gasification Reactions:
Pyrolysis:When the dry coal reaches 200–500◦ C, volatiles are released and the coal turns to char:
Coal → Char + Ash + Hydrocarbons + CH4 + H2 + H2O + CO + CO2
Gaseous species migrate towards open cavity, where they participate in other reactions.
Oxidation/Gasification:Carbon-containing compounds in the char (C) react with injected oxygen:
C + O2 → CO2
2C + O2 → 2CO
C + H2O → H2 + CO (Valuable component of Syngas)

Key Identified Risks• Loss of containment due to loss of well integrity
• Migration of chemicals of potential concern away from gasifier
• Gasifier pressure exceeding surrounding groundwater pressure
• Direct escape from the gasifier through drill holes or transmissive faults
• Gasifier chamber growth intersecting potential migration pathway
• Increase in permeability of surrounding by mechanical stress changes and fracturing (including significant gasifier chamber collapse)
• Migration of COPC from gasifier chamber after decommissioning

Ikon Science Report Review Status:
• Ikon main conclusion:Rock strength for both the mudstone that overlies the proposed pilot UCG chamber and any pre-existing faults within the mudstone are highly unlikely to be affected by planned and controllable operating conditions within LCK’s proposed pilot UCG chamber.
• DPC-ERD continue to review this report along with other new data acquired from Playford 2, 2A and 2B drilling and Alinta archives.

Next Steps
• Public submissions on EIR and draft SEO closed on 28 February
• DPC-ERD forwarded submissions and its own comments to LCK
• DPC-ERD review and collectively respond to all submissions
• LCK to submit its responses and revised EIR/SEO if necessary
• DPC-ERD will assess and decide on approval or otherwise of SEO
• If substantial changes made, revised EIR and SEO re-consulted on
• If decision is made to approve SEO it will be gazetted
• LCK will then proceed to Stage 3 of approval process
