Conducting Pre-Feasibility Studies for Coal Mine Methane Projects Training
The U.S. EPA is developing this training course in support of the GMI and in conjunction with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). This course introduces principles for assessing the potential of developing projects to capture and/or use Coal Mine Methane (CMM). The introduced general approach should be underpinned by mine-specific data and analyses, allowing the principles to be tailored to the unique conditions at each mine. Ideally, such an assessment will lead to project development and implementation.
CMM project developers, third parties, mining company personnel and government officials can all benefit from this training. The course is divided into eight separate modules:
- Module 1: Introduction and Objectives
- Module 2: Mine Background Information and Evaluation
- Module 3: Resource Assessment
- Module 4: Forecasting Methane Production from Gas Drainage Systems
- Module 5: Improvements to Gas Drainage
- Module 6: Quantifying the Benefits of Improvements to Methane Drainage Systems
- Module 7: Market, Risk, and Financial Analyses
- Module 8: Case Study – Liulong Mine, China
The training slides and a text version are provided below for each module.
