E. V. Mazanik, E. M. Mogileva, K. S. Kolikov
The authors discuss the aspects of coal-bed methane utilization, major commercial technologies and upcoming trends. The utilization efficiency is basically determined by the parameters of recoverable air-methane mixtures, and the authors take this factor into account in their assessment of the most promising technologies for gas drainage of virgin coal in the context of methane utilization.
