1 Coal Seams CO2 Sequestration in JAPAN Gota Deguchi JCOAL, Japan Coal Energy Center Second International Forum on Geologic Sequestration of CO2 in Deep, Unmineable Coalseams Coal-Seq II March 6-7, 2003, Washington, D.C., USA

2 Japanese Target on Global Warming Under the Kyoto Protocol, Japan has a target to reduce GHG emission up to 6% relative to the levels pertaining in 1990, to be achieved on an annual basis from 2008 to CO 2 emissions originated by energy represent 90% of total greenhouse gases. CO2 Emission sourced by ENERGY, mt-c FY Existing Measure Additional Measure Reduce CO2 emission in energy sector into same level of 1990 by ( By METI)

3 Reduction of GHG Emission Achievement of Target Case ( 90 level) Energy Conservation Nuclear Power Generation New Energy & Renewable Energy Fuel Conversion of Power Generation More Reduction Reduction of Other CO2 GHG Forest Sink CDM, JI, Emission Trading Innovative Technology on Global Warming

4 Innovative Technology on Global Warming CO2 Fixation and Utilization Technology CO2 Separation and Capture CO2 Organic/Chemical Fixation and Utilization CO2 Sequestration in Deep Ocean Depleted Oil and Gas Reservoirs Deep Saline Reservoirs Unmineable Coal Seams (by IEA)

18 Summary CO2 sequestration in coal seams has been taken up as innovative technology on global warming by METI. Japan has considerable amount of unmineable coal reserve to sequestrate CO2 as well as to develop ECBM. METI commenced new 5 years project for CO2 sequestration in coal seams from JFY2002 Contents of the project - Fundamental research work - Monitoring technology - Cost reduction of CO2 capturing from flue gas - Economics - Micro pilot test
