More than 15 Chinese coal miners die every day, mainly from gas explosions released when new coal tunnels are opened. A revolutionary new drilling technology from Australia may help save Chinese coal miners lives and also help reduce air pollution by capturing the methane before it spreads into the atmosphere.
Advances In Technology Making Coalbed Methane Exploration More Effective
New technologies being used to drill for, and produce, coalbed methane (CBM) gas are making it easier to get out the gas. Thats according to Dr. David Marchioni, one of Canadas leading CBM geologists, who appeared on Canadas ROB TV in late April. Because of advances in the technology, one can be more effective in getting the gas out, Dr. Marchioni told the reporters on Canadas leading business television network.
Questioned about how CBM gas was different from conven…
