| 摘要 | TERI is a pioneer in microbial stimulated coal bed methane can increase the longevity and productivity of the coal bed methane fields. Coalbed methane stimulated by microbes can increase the longevity and productivity of the fields. TERI in partnership with OEC is continuing with various field experiments to enhance the gas production from different coalbed methane wells.\n\nUNSW Australia-led researchers have discovered a way to produce a tenfold increase in the amount of methane gas emitted by naturally occurring microbes living in coal seams and on food waste.\n\nThe innovation could benefit the environment by extending the lifespan of coal seam gas wells, as well as improving the economics of using woody crops and left-over food as commercial sources of biogas.\n\nSeen traditionally as a potential hazard to coal miners, methane trapped in coal-beds has been considered a nuisance. However, if tapped properly methane has potential as an abundant clean energy supply to help replace other diminishing hydrocarbon reserves and has proved to be a major unconventional resource in the oil and gas industry.\n\nYet the supply of the coal-seam methane has not been abundant enough to be extracted at an industrial scale.\n\nThe 2016 research by UNSW found that application of 鈥渘ovel crystalline form of the synthetic phenazine neutral red鈥?that has been shown to enhance methane production. This means that small amounts of synthetic dye help the methane-producing microbes grow faster in the coal seams. The chemical inducer (dye) forms needle-like crystals that transfer protons to the microbial cell membrane, causing them to grow faster and the growth process aids in more methane production.\n\nTERI and UNSW formed a partnership with hotwiring microbial communities for enhanced unconventional gas production 鈥?which is deploying this technology for industrial application of the methane production in coal seams gas wells operated by ONGC.\n\nThe technology has been in the Bokaro coal fields in India and has resulted in about three-fold increase in gas production. This technology could extend the life of coal seam gas wells and greatly boost gas yields from bio-digesters that use carbon neutral organic waste to generate methane for electricity production With one billion tons of methane produced annually by microorganisms, biogas production can be appreciated both for its role in global organic matter turnover and as energy source for humankind. |
