2010 Annual Meeting

Session: Underground Thermal Treatment of Carbonaceous Materials

Underground thermal treatment of carbonaceous (UTTC) materials like coal may provide more efficient ways of utilizing these resources by reducing their carbon footprint. In this session we seek contributions on innovative UTTC methods. Papers on experimental, modeling, simulation and practical aspects of UTTC are welcome.
