Summary Description

Support of Ukraineъs extensive coalbed methane resources development through evaluations of the environmental impacts of reducing coal mine methane emissions and the provision of information on project opportunities

Strategic Objective

The objectives of the program are focused on development and promotion of coal bed methane industry of Ukraine. It will be done through:

  • Carbon mitigation and environmental impacts analysis
  • Providing research on U.s. and other environmental permitting models for the Ministry of Ecology of Ukraine
  • Development of improved CBM inventory of Ukraine
  • Development of methodologies for monitoring and verification of emissions reduction on project level
  • Development of а handbook on most prospective gassy mines of Donetsk basin and spreading it among potential investors in order to attract investments to CBM industry
  • Assistance in performing financial analysis of CBM projects and development of business plans

Results

  • Inventory of Methane Emissions from Ukrainian Coal Mines has been completed and published (1990-1999; 1990-2000)
  • A handbook titled "Coal Mine Methane in Ukraine: Opportunities for Production and Investment in the Donetsk Coal Basin" has been developed
  • Business plans for methane extraction and utilization projects were developed for two mines of Donetsk coal basin
