EPA says methane emissions from natural gas production have dropped 36% from 2007-2011

Green Car Congress

In its recently released Inventory of US Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990 – 2011 ( earlier post ), the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported that methane (CH 4 ) emissions from the field production of natural gas have declined by 36% from 2007 to 2011 (from 83.1 Tg or million metric tons CO 2 equivalent.)

SRI developing process for co-gasification of methane and coal to produce liquid transportation fuels; negligible water consumption, no CO2

Green Car Congress

Researchers from SRI International (SRI) are developing a methane-and-coal-to-liquids process that consumes negligible amounts of water and does not generate carbon dioxide. Water consumption less than 235 kg/barrel. Top: Conventional F-T process. Bottom: SRI process. Click to enlarge. The work was supported by DARPA under Contract No.

First-of-a-Kind Field Test for Enhanced Coalbed Methane Recovery with Simultaneous CO2 Sequestration

Green Car Congress

Injection of CO 2 began in a first-of-a-kind US Department of Energy–sponsored field trial of enhanced coalbed methane recovery with simultaneous CO2 sequestration in an unmineable coal seam. These wells have been producing coalbed methane and water since 2004. Monitoring the quality of groundwater and stream water.

Alabama Project Testing Potential for Combining CO2 Storage with Enhanced Methane Recovery

Green Car Congress

Earlier, an existing coalbed methane well operated by El Paso Exploration & Production had been converted for CO 2 injection, and four wells drilled to monitor reservoir pressure, gas composition, water quality, and the CO 2 plume. The final phase, the development phase (2007–2018), will conduct large-volume carbon storage tests.
