This pre-feasibility study was completed to determine the feasibility of a coal mine methane (CMM) capture and utilization project at the San Juaquin Mine. Specifically, this study aimed to evaluate the technical and economic viability of methane drainage utilizing vertical pre-drainage boreholes drilled from the surface and in-seam pre-drainage boreholes drilled from within mine workings, and to identify end-use options.
