Elixir Energy, the Australian exploration and production company with plans for a small-scale liquefaction plant using coal-seam gas to provide clean fuel for trucks in Mongolia, is making progress in assessing resources in the South Gobi desert region.

Australia, the world’s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas to nations such as China and Japan, says it is faced with unique challenges in delivering natural gas to Australians as the domestic network is long in kilometre terms while it is delivering to a domestic gas market comparable in volume to that of Switzerland.
