Proceeding contribution from Michael Clapham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.
Energy Bill
Does my hon. Friend agree that another technology needs to be exploited—underground gasification? As he will be aware, since the industrial revolution—going back to 1760—we have used about 9 per cent. of our coal reserves. Most of those reserves are deep, and if we were able to instigate the burning of those seams, we could pump out methane that would replace much of the gas that we use.
