    There has been several test sites around the UK that have successfully produced gas from coal.
    During the past two years the Coal Authority, on behalf of the Department of Energy and Climate Change, without much publicity, has issued 18 underground coal gasification (UCG) licences.
    Clean Coal Limited has five licences around the coast of Britain and is trying to locate reserves which are off shore and too deep to be mined traditionally.
    It is thought up to one billion tonnes of coal could lie beneath the surface.

    Rohan Courtney believes that over one billion tons of coal lie beneath Swansea bay.
    The man with his eye on Swansea Bay is Rohan Courtney. A veteran of the energy exploration game, he helped to turn a tiny oil company called Tullow Energy into one of Britain's biggest companies, by exploiting neglected energy reserves in Africa and the North Sea.
    He believes that over one billion tons of coal lie beneath Swansea bay. Later this year his company will start work on a project to drill into it and burn it.
