1. Pre-drainage of methane in UG mine (BCCL), Coalfield . Pre-drainage in Seam XVIT has been planned to recovery methane to enhance safety, coal production and gainfully utilization of gas; . A Pre-NIT meeting is proposed in last week of November-2019; 2. Jharia CMM/CBM Block (BCCL Area): . BCCL Board has approved the Project Feasibility Report for a CMM/CBM block of about 24.32Sq. Km for Commercial development having CBM resource about 25.2 BCM; . It is proposed to develop this block by engaging CBM Developer (CBMD) where CMPDI to implement it; 3. CMM/CBM Block (ECL Area): . ECL Board has approved the Project Feasibility Report for a CMM/CBM block of an area of about 57Sq. Km for commercial development having resource of about 3.93 BCM; . It is proposed to develop this block by engaging CBM Developer (CBMD) where CMPDI to implement it; Global Methane Initiative CBM/CMMCBM/CMM developmentdevelopment inin otherother CILCIL leasehold/commandleasehold/command areasareas

. A block of an area 60 Sq. km has also delineated in under SECL with resource of about 1.07 BCM; . Potential Block delineation is under progress in North Karanpura Cf, South Karanpura Cf, Bokaro Cf and Jharia Cf under CIL command areas and CIIP assessment has been undertaken by CMPDI; . CMPDI is also working for prospects of CBM/CMM in North-Eastern region; . CMPDI-CIL is also exploring possibilities for simultaneous extraction of CMM/CBM and Coal in its command areas; . Identification of abandoned UG gassy mines in CIL areas has also be undertaken for AMM Project. . Pre-feasibility Study for AMM in (ECL Command area), Bokaro Coalfield (CCL Command Area) and (BCCL Command area) and Workshop on Case Study

. Established under the aegis of US EPA and MoC and is functional at CMPDI (Ranchi) since November, 2008 with an aim of development of CMM/CBM in the country; . It showcase opportunities of CBM/CMM development in India and facilitate training programs; . USEPA has extended its support upto 2021; . Four International Workshops have been organized on the development of coal based non-conventional energy resources in India i.e; CMM/CBM at Ranchi (), India. . It includes International Workshop on “Optimum Utilization of CMM/CBM in India” organized jointly with GoI, CMPDI, US EPA & GMI on 24th -25th April, 2019. . Training on Reservoir Simulation for Project personnel and an International Workshop on “Pre-mine drainage” is proposed during January - February, 2020.

Global Methane Initiative ConclusionConclusion

. India is continuously making efforts to extract CMM/CBM from its coal mining areas to combat the climate change issues; . Development of CMM from mining areas will lead future mining safer; . GAIL is laying gas-pipeline under URJA Ganga Project to complete by December, 2020 which will provide infrastructure to evacuate CBM/CMM Produce for optimum utilization; . Extraction and Utilization of CMM/CBM resources will bridge the gap between the supply and demand of energy which is environment friendly will contribute towards the country’s energy budget; . Resulting energy supply will be more affordable and sustainable; . ONGC, IOCL, GAIL and CIL have joined hands together for the development of CBM/CMM; . India is taking all efforts to make coal mining sustainable to environmental, social and economic dimensions. Global Methane Initiative
