Many Canadian organizations are extensively researching CBM [coalbed methane]. One research project consists of testing a unique process called Enhanced Coalbed Methane Recovery(ECBMR) by which CO2 is injected into Alberta's deep coalbeds as a method of releasing the trapped methane. This process is similar to the practice of using CO2 to enhance production from oil reservoirs. 5, record 2, English, - enhanced%20coalbed%20methane%20recovery

A final implication of EGR [enhanced gas recovery] for coalbed methane is the potential for the creation of zero emission power plants. These power plants would create minimal CO2 emissions based on a full life cycle analysis....

There are vast, deep coalbeds in Alberta, Canada which are unmineable but contain trapped methane. The Alberta Research Council(ARC) is leading a group of provincial, national and international organizations to exploit the coalbed methane by testing a novel process of injecting carbon dioxide. This process is called Enhanced Gas Recovery(EGR). It is similar to the established practice of using CO² injection to enhance production from oil reservoirs. With EGR, the injected CO² is adsorbed in the coal, to be stored in its pore matrix, releasing the trapped methane that can be collected and sold. 2, record 4, English, - enhanced%20gas%20recovery
