China Coalbed Methane Technology/CO2 Sequestration Project
(Project Completed)
Nominators: Canada (lead), United States, and China
This pilot-scale project successfully demonstrated that coal seams in the anthracitic coals of Shanxi Province of China are permeable and stable enough to absorb CO2 and enhance methane production, leading to a clean energy source for China. The project evaluated reservoir properties of selected coal seams of the Qinshui Basin of eastern China and carried out field testing at relatively low CO2 injection rates. The project recommendation is to proceed to full scale pilot test at south Qinshui, as the prospect in other coal basins in China is good.
Recognized by the CSLF at its Berlin meeting, September 2005
