Producing Power from Coal Bed Methane

摘要

The first Coal-Bed-Methane (CBM) to Energy project in Russia celebrated its grand opening at Kuzbasskaya Energosetevaya Compania's Talda site, located near Kemerovo. The gas comes from test drills that Gazprom is conducting to capture the huge reserves of CBM in this traditional coal mining region. A Jen-bacher gas engine from GE Energy uses the gas to provide electricity, which is ultimately sold to the grid. This project is part of a broader GE strategy to invest in resource rich regions like Russia to respond quicker to customer needs, and it also helps support Russia's environmental and energy efficiency goals.
