摘要
The dilute (0.1 - 1.0 v/v%) methane emissions from industrial activities (underground coal mining, natural gas and petroleum and petrochemical primary and secondary production) constitute a major fraction of the approximately 1 billion equivalent tonnes of carbon dioxide emitted yearly by these industrial sectors. Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is currently developing a technology to economically treat these emissions. Worldwide, NRCan technology can technically eliminate the methane of no less than 20% of these emissions, and application of its Catalytic Flow Reversal Reactor (CFRR) technology can be economically justified for a quarter of this market. The CFRR technology will also recover the methane heat value, with an efficiency of up to 90%, further reducing greenhouse gas emissions by correspondingly decreasing world energy consumption. For example, the heat recovered from underground coal mine applications can correspond to as much as 3% of the mined coal heat value.
