WASHINGTON, June 26 (UPI) -- U.S. government scientists have determined deep coal seams that aren't commercially viable for coal production might be used for carbon dioxide storage. Such permanent ...

Deep coal seams that are not commercially viable for coal production could be used for permanent underground storage of carbon dioxide (CO 2) generated by human activities, thus avoiding ...

A team of regional partners has begun to inject carbon dioxide into Virginia coal seams to determine whether it can be stored there and potentially produce coalbed methane, the US Department of ...

Accurate estimation of carbon dioxide adsorption capacity in coal seam is very important for planning the carbon dioxide storage efforts of carbon capture and storage technology; however, an ...

A 2021 study also found the carbon capture process emits significant amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that’s ...

Cao YX, Zhang JS, Tian L, et al. (2017) Research and application of CO2 gas fracturing for gas control in low permeability coal seams. Journal of China Coal Society 42(10): 2631–2641. Feng WJ, Su XB, ...

The study is supposed to be completed in 12 months and lead to a CO2 storage atlas of select coalfields. Coal bed methane is gas trapped between coal seams.

Deep coal seams with sufficient incline can get close enough to the surface to be ... Glencore said the mine had net emissions of 503,591 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in the year ended ...

ELECTRICITY generated using coal-seam or shale gas produced less than half the carbon dioxide emissions of electricity from burning coal, a study has found.
