Extracting and utilising mine gases from abandoned coal mines - a few ideas and suggestions for potential developers Cox, A; Hunt, M [Energy Intelligence and Marketing Research Ltd., Newcastle upon Tyne (United Kingdom)] 01 COAL, LIGNITE, AND PEAT; COAL MINES; DEGASSING; METHANE; ABANDONED SITES; RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT; UNITED KINGDOM; WASTE PRODUCT UTILIZATION; GASES; COST; RECOMMENDATIONS The majority of coalbed methane (CBM) developments carried out to date have been primarily concerned with CBM extraction from deep coal seams. Another potential source of CBM is the residual methane, a significant proportion of the mines gas found in some abandoned workings. This is often found at depths considerably shallower than those reached in conventional CBM extraction. The residual gas could be extracted and utilised at relatively low cost, thereby making it economically attractive to potential project developers and financiers. 2 refs.
