Download PI (338 Kb PDF) - 2008

General

Overall scope and content of the activity:

Coal mining technology and energy efficiency. Reducing methane emissions and take care of the heat for distict heating

Date of identification/start of co-operation: 2008

Project identification

Project location (country, city): People's Republic of China, Henan Province

Project summary, including technology description: Project Design Document of Zhengzhou Coal Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. Coalmine Methane Utilization Project. PDD can be found at: cdm.unfccc.int/Projects/DB/DNV-CUK1201793890.37/view

One possible project is the VAM (Ventilation Air Methane) from the GaoCheng coal mine of the ZhengZhou Mining Group in the Henan Province in the People's Republic of China is being emitted to the atmosphere in concentrations varying typically between 0.3 and 0.7 %.

Utilization or abatement of the VAM emission had not been previously demonstrated in China due to the nature of the emission with very large air flow with extremely dilute methane concentration.

For more information download the PI (338 Kb PDF).

The objective of the project is to oxidize the methane and generate hot water from the released energy.

Business co-operation

Short description of nature of co-operation, including how the co-operation was initiated:

Continual contacts. The project could easily be duplicated and there are many interesting countries that have mines where methane could be reduced. Poland, Australia, India are very interesting countries.

Follow up

Anticipated follow-up activities (of the project identification and/or business cooperation):

SETatWork will follow up the activities to find out if this cooperation will lead to a finial business and how many carbon credits will be achieved through the project.

Expiry Date: 13/07/2011

The Expiry Date is automatically set to 1 year after the date the Project Partners form was completed unless otherwise specified by the contact
