How will UCG benefit Alaska?
Developing UCG with carbon capture facilities in Alaska will not require public subsidies and can be faster, more economical and more reliable than building the infrastructure needed to import natural gas into Southcentral Alaska. UCG with carbon capture can enable environmentally responsible development of Alaska coal resources to replace diminishing oil and gas resources to provide cleaner, reliable energy. UCG is part of a diversified energy portfolio that also includes wind, hydrokinetic, geothermal, that can help Alaska regain its position as a world-class energy provider and innovator.
