Lowest Cost Energy: Clean Under-Utilized Methane
5: CBM/CSG Operators, CMM
• -->> cont: ■ Under-Utilized Methane: ●2 Coalbed Methane/Coal Seam Gas:
• Main coal reserve nations have large potential: i.e. US(ConocoPhillips, Consol
Energy, Bill Barrett Corporation+), Canada(Ember Resources, BP Canada+),
Australia(QGC Pty - Shell, Arrow Energy+), Russia is likely to develop only small
volume given current large production of Natural gas(Газпром промгаз Gazprom
Promgaz+), Germany: their definition of CBM & CMM(Coal Mine Methane) is mixed
as a large portion of it comes from closed coal mines(STEAG New Energies+),
India(Essar+), China is likely to have most incentive to develop in mid term with
strong state involvement(PetroChina, China United Coalbed Methane Corporation -
+), while some privates attempt to expand(Green Dragon
Gas, AAG Energy+)
• ●3 Coal Mine Methane(CMM): When coal is mined, methane is emitted & vented as
hazard, but not recovered when yield was inconsistent or mix of other air(20-60%
CH4) etc, but now this "free energy" is starting to get recovered more - this also
makes the gas lowest cost in some situations(Energy Developments, GreenGas
International BV, Shanxi Jincheng Anthracite Coal Mining Group Co Ltd /
+). Often CMM doesn't include high consistently yield
methane streams because it becomes its own well.
