1 RECOPOL Reduction of CO 2 emission by means of CO 2 storage in coal seams in the Silesian Coal Basin of Poland RECOPOL COAL SEQ III BALTIMORE, 25 MARCH 2004

2 Overview of presentation Introduction Work schedule Design field site Injection well Production well Injection facilities Monitoring Future activities 2

3 Poland and the Kyoto protocol 1997 Kyoto Protocol obliges industrialized countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 5.2 % between as compared with 1990 emission levels EU 8% reduction Poland generates 3% of worldwide emissions Poland approved the Kyoto Pact in 2002 Poland generates 30% less CO 2 than would be allowed under the Kyoto agreement could translate into big profits for Poland via emission trading 100 million tons of CO 2 per year for about $10 per ton = S 1 billion /y (according to Polish environment Minister Zelichowski) European Commission proposed (October 2001) to start EUwide emission trading in

4 CBM history of Upper Silesian Coal Basin CBM was not successful in the Upper Silesian Basin low-moderate (1.5 md, range md) permeability undersaturated coals due to degassing of the coal However, USCB could still be interesting for Enhanced Coalbed Methane production via CO 2 injection Adsorption capacity for CO 2 high, also in undersaturated coal Focus on CO 2 sequestration, produced CBM considered as extra benefit USCB was selected as the best location for ECBM-CO 2 in Europe (IEA report, 2000) 4

6 Facts and figures about RECOPOL RECOPOL investigates the possibility of permanent subsurface storage of CO 2 in coal RECOPOL consist of two (integrated) parts Scientific research Demonstration: field experiment The RECOPOL project is partly financed by the EU in the scope of the 1997 Kyoto protocol CO2-emissions reduced with 8% in with respect to level of 1990 It is the first of it s kind outside Northern America The RECOPOL project started in November 2001 Planned duration of the project is 36 months Planned duration field experiment 18 months 6

7 Main goals of the RECOPOL project Is CO 2 -ECBM technical feasible under European conditions? Carboniferous coals of the Northwest European coal basin safe and permanent? economical feasible? How much CBM is produced for each tonne of injected CO 2? Can it be applied on a larger scale in an economical and social acceptable way? 7
