SYNGAS’S INNOVATIVE PYSTR TECHNOLOGY’S CARBON CAPTURE UNIT
USEFUL FOR CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGIES
Coal Bed Methane Extraction Aided by PyStR
CALGARY, AB, Feb 27, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) - Syngas
International (BB: SYNI) is pleased to announce an update further to its press
release of February 23, 2006, when the Company announced completion of its
carbon dioxide capture unit on its proprietary PyStR technology. The
captured carbon dioxide (CO2) can be injected into coal seams to recover
methane in a similar fashion to injecting CO2 into depleted oil wells
to enhance oil recovery.
Carbon dioxide sequestration in coal beds is even more efficient than
sequestering it in oil wells because CO2 injected into a coalbed seam
displaces adsorbed methane (CH4) from the coal surface with two cubic
feet of CO2 adsorbed on the coal surface and micropores for every cubic
foot of insitu CH4 released. Recent industry field projects of CO2
injection into coalbeds have shown that methane production is increased.
Coalbeds in North America represent a widely dispersed potential geological
sink for CO2 storage while offering an opportunity to recover
commercial quantities of methane for field uses or marketing in nearby natural
gas pipelines. The U.S. Department of Energy and Canadian Government
(Alberta Research Council) has been researching development of this
sequestration concept for disposal of CO2 emissions.
Nearly ninety percent of the enormous coal resources in North America
are unminable by today’s mining standards, but carbon dioxide
sequestration technology has the potential to change that.
Surface coal can now be mined and gasified in Syngas’ advanced
gasification and PyStR systems, with the CO2 injected (sequestered) into
unminable coal beds to bring out the methane.
As stated earlier, one of the biggest problems of late has been a
reliable supply of CO2. Syngas, through its PyStR hydrogen production
process, can capture CO2 that is produced either as a primary or bi-product.
Syngas believes its advanced gasification system captures CO2 more
reliably and efficiently than traditional technologies.
