The main objective of this project has been to develop and test new and novel technologies for the assessment, prediction, prevention and risk management of gas outbursts and uncontrolled gas emissions in coal mines which operate in thick and/or steeply dipping thick seams. The project monitored...

The main objective of this project was to develop new borehole stimulation techniques and develop improved methane drainage technologies. The project commenced with laboratory experiments to characterise the baseline reservoir properties of coal and coal measures rock. These data were...

This paper presents a comprehensive and systematic life cycle assessment tool developed at Imperial College, the ICLCA model, that can be used to accurately account for greenhouse gas emissions from any natural gas value chain and quantify their global warming potential. The ICLCA tool covers...
