View Case Study

Summary

A joint venture bid was awarded for the rights to extract coal mine methane from the coal mine Jharia CBM Block-I for reuse as an alternative source. The project aims to capture methane for 25+ years. The methane will then be injected into the national pipeline grid and can be used as an alternative energy source. Lives of the local population should be improved by both reducing greenhouse gas emissions and providing economic advantages.
