Investigation of Thermal Effects on Samples of Coals to Determine the Prospect of Their Utilization as Sources of Gaseous Fuels

Problems and prospects for the development of hydrocarbon resources in the context of the global transition to clean energy

“…Up to 70-75% of methane in coals is present in sorbed form [6,7,10], where its amount is adsorbed on the surface of coal particles, and the main task here is to break the stable physicochemical coalmethane bond. In situ coal thermal treatment leads to the destruction and desorption of coal [11]. Additional release of gas sorbed by coal can increase the methane content of the coal seam as a whole.…”
