DOE Regional Partner Initiates Coal Seam CO2 Injection and Methane Recovery Study in Virginia

Green Car Congress

A US Department of Energy (DOE) team of regional partners has begun injecting carbon dioxide into coal seams in the Central Appalachian Basin to determine the feasibility of CO 2 storage in unmineable coal seams and the potential for enhanced coalbed methane recovery. This area has been assessed by researchers to have the capacity to store 1.3
