MEGAPlus aims at evaluation of the use of deep lying methane rich coal deposits for coalbed methane and enhanced coalbed methane recovery using horizontal wells, coupled with subsequent high pressure SNG-oriented UCG through the reuse of the same horizontal wells and permanent storage of CO2. Since, the project takes a radical and holistic approach to coupled CBM-UCG process, beyond state-of-art, high-presure gasification tests, advanced numerical simulations and technoeconomic assessments will be developed and employed to investigate site-specific CBM-UCG implementations. Project findings will be compiled in best practices serving as guideline for deep CBM-UCG operations in Europe and world-wide.
