Coal Mine Methane Process
BCCK's process to extract methane from mines and remove contaminants such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and water, is providing coal mines with an additional source of revenue.
Instead of venting coal mine methane to the atmosphere, the gas can be processed and used as fuel for mine equipment or sold to gas pipelines for additional revenue.
Utilizing the Nitech™ technology, BCCK has constructed coal mine methane facilities in Pennsylvania, Alabama and Illinois.
BENEFITS OF COAL MINE METHANE EXTRACTION/ENRICHMENT:
- Environmentally friendly - methane, a dangerous greenhouse gas, is captured and processed instead of vented to the atmosphere
- Cost-effective fuel source - processed gas powers onsite equipment or can be sold to nearby gas pipelines.
- Potential for carbon credit trading as a qualified emissions reduction
