Research on Use of Methane Gas from the Degassing of Coal Seams and the Cogeneration Production of Electricity and Thermal Energy

The present work aims to analyze possibilities of using the methane gas resulting from degassing of coal seams under conditions of increased efficiency. Degassing is absolutely necessary for the safe exploitation of coal seams, the result being accumulation of substantial amounts of methane gas that we propose to use in the cogeneration system of electricity and heat.
