“…Estimates of the storage potential of coal beds range from 60 (Gale andFreund 2001, Gale 2004) to 700 GtCO 2 (Kuuskraa et al 1992). Lower estimates consider the economic constraints (Dooley et al 2005) of 10 high potential countries, while a more comprehensive assessment of 24 countries expands the potential to 487 GtCO 2 (Godec et al 2014). Kuuskraa et al (1992)'s estimate appears to be based on theoretical analysis by the authors leading to a higher range.…”

“…The early estimate of 150 GtCO 2 considers few countries and subsequent regional estimates have revised this 22 The types of potential correspond to estimates of capacity increasingly constrained by physical (theoretical), technical (effective), regulatory, economic (practical) barriers as well as detailed matching with large CO 2 sources ( upward. In North America, estimates have increased from 47 GtCO 2 (IEA GHG 1998, Gale 2004) to 65-120 GtCO 2 (Godec et al 2014, Dooley et al 2005, Wright et al 2013. Lower-end estimates tend to consider specific basins with high potential and favorable market conditions while higher estimates reflect theoretical global potentials.…”

“…Reeves and Oudinot presented the results for the Allison unit ECBM project and performed the economic analysis. Godec et al calculated the CO 2 storage capacity in the potential coal basins of the world and estimated the amount of methane that can be produced from those basins. They estimated the methane recovery of 49.55 Tcm with a CO 2 storage potential of 487.64 Gt in those coal basins.…”

Enhanced coal bed methane recovery (ECBM) process is an important developing technology because of its dual advantage, i.e., producing methane gas and sequestering CO2 at the same time. CO2 have been used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) for more than five decades but available storage sites for EOR are only limited to oil rich countries. Pakistan has one of the largest coal reserves in the world accounting to more than 185 billion tons. In this study, CO2 sequestration in the coalbeds of Thar coal field located in the South of Pakistan is explored from the technical and economical point of view. Potential CO2 storage capacity and methane gas‐in‐place has been calculated for the Thar coal fields. Next, an economic analysis has been performed to evaluate the cost of CO2 storage and to explore any economic benefit from the methane production. Usually, coal reservoirs are saturated with water, hence water production along with methane is inevitable. This study analyzed various water treatment methods and recommended shallow re‐injection technology to be the most suitable for the Thar coal ECBM process. In addition, carbon balance has been investigated to calculate the CO2 avoided during the ECBM process. Finally, a sensitivity analysis has been performed on some of the important design variables in order to analyze their effect on the cost of CO2 storage. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 37: 900–911, 2018

“…However, the storage potential of CO 2 in coal beds is not as large as in salt formations or oil reservoirs, moreover, the CO 2 -ECBM technology is still at the pilot projects stage [46]. For example, some issues related to the behavior of methane and CO 2 at ultra-high pressures are not well studied yet [47].…”

Abstract:The paper assesses the techno-economic potential of Russia to implement carbon capture and storage technologies that imply the capture of anthropogenic CO 2 and its injection into geologic reservoirs for long-term storage. The focus is on CO 2 enhanced oil recovery projects that seem to be the most economically promising option of carbon capture and storage. The novelty of the work lies in the formulation of a potential assessment method of CO 2 enhanced oil recovery, which allows for establishing a connection between energy production and oil extraction from the viewpoint of CO 2 supply and demand. Using linear optimization, the most promising combinations of CO 2 sources and sinks are identified and an economic evaluation of these projects is carried out. Based on this information, regions of Russia are ranked according to their prospects in regards to CO 2 capture and enhanced oil recovery storage. The results indicate that Russia has a significant potential to utilize its power plants as CO 2 sources for enhanced oil recovery projects. It has been estimated that 71 coal-fired power plants, and 185 of the gas-fired power plants of Russia annually produce 297.1 and 309.6 Mt of CO 2 that can cover 553.4 Mt of the demand of 322 Russian oil fields. At the same time, the total CO 2 storage capacity of the Russian fields is estimated at 7382.6 Mt, however, due to geological and technical factors, only 22.6% can be used for CO 2 -EOR projects. Of the 183 potential projects identified in the regional analysis phase, 99 were found to be cost-effective, with an average unit cost of € 19.07 per ton of CO 2 and a payback period of 8.71 years. The most promising of the estimated regions is characterized by a well-developed energy industry, relatively low transportation costs, numerous large and medium-sized oil fields at the final stages of development, and favorable geological conditions that minimize the cost of injection. Geographically, they are located in the North-Western, Volga, and Ural Federal districts.
