The program, which will be based on Eestech’s hybrid coal mine gas technology (HCGT), uses methane and waste coal to produce clean energy. The project schedules have been developed and are expected to commence with a comprehensive feasibility study on a range of Datong Coal’s gassy coal mines.
This study is required for site selection, plant sizing, determining methane emission volumes and project costs to support the necessary commercial agreements prior to the deployment of HCGT systems.
Eestech said that a standard 10MW HCGT plant will generate clean coal energy using ventilated coal mine methane and can produce up to one million carbon credits per year.
Murray Bailey, Eestech CEO, said: Eestech in collaboration with China’s coal industry will demonstrate the benefits of the HCGT system, becoming a leading reference site supporting the commercial validation of waste to energy and the ability to provide cost-effective clean energy.
