Shell Canada has plans to extract methane gas from coal seams that underly a million acres, fracking the coal with hundreds of millions of gallons of toxic chemicals, establishing perhaps as many as 6,000 wellheads, and eventually a network of roads and pipelines and flaring wellheads, all to generate methane gas that most likely will go east to fuel the expansion of the tar sands.

In the process of absorption the coal releases previously absorbed methane, and the methane can be recovered (enhanced coal bed methane recovery).

Unmineable coal seams can be used to store because the molecules attach to the surface of coal.

The term refers to methane adsorbed into the solid matrix of the coal.

And of course, coalmines are very dangerous places because in some of these coalmines, you get gas. When that gas blows up, people die. So you're producing a biogas out of coal in some mines, but not in others.

So you're producing a biogas out of coal in some mines, but not in others.

Coal seams are extracted from a mountain by removing the land, or overburden, above the seams.

The process used the water gas shift reaction CO H2O CO2 H2The process was discovered by passing high pressure steam over hot coal, the major source of coke gas.

Oil fields, gas fields, saline formations, unmineable coal seams, and saline filled basalt formations have been suggested as storage sites.

Replacing coal with natural gas does reduce greenhouse gas emissions, even if natural gas itself is not sustainable in the long term.

This is called coal bed methane. Why is this picture interesting? Because if coal turns out to be concentrated plant life, the reason why you may get a differential in gas output between one mine and another the reason why one mine may blow up and another one may not blow up may be because there's stuff eating that stuff and producing gas.

CO2 emissions result from other, generally beneficial acts, such as burning coal to keep warm, burning kerosene to cook, or burning gas to transport people.

Gasification of coal allows for the removal of dangerous pollutants, and coal can already be converted to gasoline at low cost a South African company is beginning to bring that technology to China on a large scale.

Similarly, engineers have developed ways to capture the carbon dioxide that results from burning coal in power plants and store it safely underground.

Right now, rich countries are changing the world s climate by emitting billions of tons of carbon dioxide each year from the use of coal, oil, and natural gas.

At least, at the moment, we have no way of burning coal without producing huge clouds of carbon dioxide that warm the planet.
