3 Project Description Title: Russian Federation Removing Barriers to Coal Mine Methane Recovery and Utilization. Start date:october 15, 2003 Region of the highest interest: Kuznetsky coal basin (Kuzbass). Goal:GHG emissions reduction by means of removing barriers for implementation and financing of coal mine methane utilization projects in Russia. Key concept:the establishment of institutional and financial basis to facilitate coal mine methane project development and selected demo projects accomplishment. Tools:Support /creation of coal mine methane recovery and utilization company (CMMRUC). Budget: $ 8.3 Mln ($3.1Mln). 3

15 Current Status Technical Equipment: Modular boiler MKU-W-0.7 (0.7x1)G contains: hot-water boiler KVE GM, fan, gas flues, boiler gas equipment, network pumps, electrical equipment, automatic machinery, etc. All above-listed equipment is located in the container 6x3.2x2.6 m. 15

16 Sources of Income from Methane Utilization Reducing operating costs. Saving coal replaced by methane. Heat and electricity generation. Reduced fines for methane emissions into the atmosphere. Revenues from ERU sales. 16

17 Problems in Preparation and Realization of CMM Utilization Projects Possible issues with methane ownership rights. Low prices for gas and electricity. Insignificant number of mines using degasification. Lack of efficient drilling equipment for surface wells and underground boreholes. Permissions from energy companies needed to connect consumers to electricity lines, possible competition with other electricity producing companies. 17

18 Recommendations for Investors and Developers for CMM Projects Versions of joint operation of the equipment, bringing in experienced operators of CMM projects. Analysis of possible usage of methane utilization products by external consumers. 18

20 General Methodology of Assessment To assess CMM emission the system of methods recommended by Interstate Group of Experts of Climate Change (IGECC) in 2006 has been applied. Sources: Deep mine coal production(amount of recovered and utilized methane is considered); Open mine coal production; The following activities. 20
