Energiegewinnung und Emissionsminderung durch Nutzung von Gruben- und Flözgas

A large share of methan emissions in Germany is related to coal mining activities. The increased use of mine gas as a fuel, which is already economic in many cases, may play an important role in energy supply and emission reduction in the future. Besides the use of mine gas, the production and use of coal bed methane has emerged as an option with considerable technical and economic potential. In the future CO2 could be sequestered in coal seams, provided that no later coal mining is planned. test are made to sequester CO2 into coal seams. The type CO2-sequestration the production of coal bed methane, therefore reducing the net cost for sequestration
