Leigh Creek Energy is an ASX listed Australian company which is developing an in-situ coal gasification (ISG) project at Leigh Creek, South Australia. The company's flagship Leigh Creek Energy Project intends to produce gas at the site of the former Leigh Creek coal mine and distribute it to the eastern states of Australia via existing pipeline networks. Project planning commenced in 2011, and an exploration license was obtained by the company in November 2014. The project also intends to develop a fertiliser production facility using waste gas streams and ammonium nitrate explosives for use by South Australia's mining sector. The LCEP will also generate electricity via gas turbines to supply the project and Leigh Creek township.[1][2] As of October 2015 the company's Managing Director is David K. Shearwood, and its non-executive directors are Peter Williams, Justyn Peters and former politician and political lobbyist, Chris Schacht.[3]
