The project investigated the recoverable methane resources from the abandoned Zory coal mine including: selection of the most appropriate alternative for CMM capture from the viewpoint of its potential conversion to LNG, drilling a borehole to collect CMM samples, assessing the methane obtainable resources in the abandoned mine and identifying the most promising application of the available LNG. The project attempted to perform a market analysis of LNG applications as a clean-burning fuel, together with assessing the environmental effects of the LNG application at the identified market concentrating on diesel-fueled locomotives.
