Yubari Project

Project Overview

This project is Japan’s first project looking into the technical and economical feasibility of injecting CO2 into coal seams for enhanced coalbed methane recovery. The main objective of this project is to reduce CO2 emissions by injecting it into deep coal beds. At the same time, it will be determined whether injecting CO2 into coal beds will enhance coal bed methane recovery. This micro-pilot project is currently being carried out in a field near the town of Yubari, in the Ishikari Coal Basin in Hokkaido.
