The Fairview gas field is developed by the Comet Ridge Project, a coal seam gas extraction project in the Bowen Basin. Fairview is PL 91 located in the Comet Ridge Project Area comprising PLs 90, 91, 92, 99,100, 232, 233,234, 235 and 236 and ATPs 526P, 653P, 655P and 745P, some 500-600 kilometres north-west of Brisbane or 100-200 kilometres ...
Linc Energy also planned to build a 20,000 barrels per day (3,200 m 3 /d) gas-to-liquid plant on the Arckaringa Basin in South Australia. [21] The plant was to be designed by Aker Solutions and it was to be fed by synthesis gas produced by underground coal gasification. [22] BP had an option to buy 70% of the produced diesel fuel. [23]
In the 2009/10 financial year investment in the coal seam gas industry increased 43% compared to the previous financial year. [ 27 ] In 2010, it was announced that the Curtis LNG Project at Gladstone would process coal-seam gas transported via a 540 km underground pipe from the Surat Basin into liquified natural gas for export.

Queensland has significant coal, coal seam gas and bauxite deposits and some oil shale and natural gas reserves. Coal production in the 2008-09 financial year totalled 159 million tonnes leading to exports to 38 countries. [19] Queensland exports half the world's coking coal which is used to make steel. [20]

Energy in Australia is sourced largely from coal and natural gas, [2] however, recently, due to the increasing effects of global warming and human-induced climate change on the global environment, there has been a shift towards renewable energy such as solar power and wind power both in Australia and abroad.
The coal industry claims that extensive rehabilitation of areas mined helps to ensure that land capability, after coal mining, meets agreed and appropriate standards. [61] [62] It is estimated that air pollution from coal-fired power stations in Australia is responsible for 785 premature deaths each year. [63]
The basin has a number of coal seam gas (CSG) fields - also known as coalbed methane - developing in the region. These fields presently supply both the domestic market, including a number of power stations and the Roma to Brisbane Pipeline , and Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) Plants located on Curtis Island near Gladstone to export Surat Basin gas ...
