Item #d95may76

Coalbed Methane Extraction, R.M. Davidson, L.L. Sloss, L.B. Clarke (IEACR/76), 67 pp., Jan. 1995, £300. (IEA Coal Res.).

Looks at this source of methane as a resource, not a mining hazard, emission or by-product. Gives details about its estimation, production technologies, environmental considerations relating to coproduced water, and constraints to development.

Item #d95may77

Carbon Dioxide Capture from Power Stations, 23 pp., 1994, £13. Contact IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Prog., CRE, Stoke Orchard, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL52 4RZ, UK (tel: 44 0 242 680 753; fax: 44 0 242 680 758).

The second in a series that is systematically evaluating selected power generation, CO₂ capture options, and CO₂ disposal options, in terms of the current or future availability of technologies. Evaluates the validity of applying various capture technologies (involving absorption, adsorption, cryogenics, and membranes) to the exhaust gas streams from four power generation schemes.

Item #d95may78

Carbon Dioxide Disposal from Power Stations, 23 pp., 1994. Contact IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Prog. (see preceding entry).

The third in the series. The disposal options (oceans, aquifers, exhausted oil and gas reservoirs, and solids) were analyzed in terms of their global potential cost and environmental impact. In the long term, environmental and safety considerations require the greatest emphasis in future R&D.
