Abstract

The technical and economical feasibility of CO2 sequestration in deep coal layers combined with enhanced coalbed methane (ECBM) production in the Netherlands has been explored. Annually, 3.4 Mtonne CO2 from chemical installations can be delivered to sequestration locations at 15 €/tonne and another 55 Mtonne from power generating facilities at 40–80 €/tonne. Four potential ECBM areas have been assessed, of which Zuid Limburg is the best location for a test site, while the Achterhoek is more suitable for future large-scale CO2 sequestration. Between 54 Mtonne and 9 Gtonne CO2 can be sequestered in the four areas together, heavily depending on available technology for accessing the coal seams. At the same time, between 0.3 and 60 EJ of coalbed methane can be produced. The optimal configuration may have 1000 m spacing between production wells, and extreme inseam drilling. The price of coalbed methane may become competitive with natural gas when a bonus for CO2 sequestration is applied of about 25 €/tonne. For the long term, on-site hydrogen or power (SOFC) production with direct injection of produced CO2 seems most attractive. Further study is required, most notably more accurate geological surveys, assessment of drilling costs in Dutch context, and environmental impacts of ECBM.
