The Capture, Utilization, Storage of CO sub(2) in Methane Recovery

According to the problems that the coalbed methane resource was rich in deep seam in China, but the economic and technology conditions were limited, it would be hard to mine with a conventional method. The CO sub(2) capture, utilization and storage technology was provided (CO sub(2)-ECBM). The application of the technology would not only improve the methane recovery ratio from deep and unminable layer, but also put CO sub(2) effectively in the deep layer for storage to reach a target of reducing emission. The study showed that a coal rank, coal seam pressure, coal seam permeability, injection time, injected gas types and others would affect to the recovery ratio of methane in a production mine. Therefore, before we use this technology, a rational evaluation should be conducted on the place location. So the capture and storage technology of CO sub(2) has an important significance in protecting the natural environment.
