ABSTRACT
The MoveCBM project is the RECOPOL project continuation (5th Framework EU program) that aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of permanent CO2 subsurface storage in coal seams (i.e., from geological, technical, and economical perspectives). For that project, the upper Silesian coal basin (USCB) in Poland was selected as the most suitable coal basin in Europe for the application of enhanced coal based methane (Stevens et al., 1999; Wong et al., 2001). This basin is the largest coal basin in Poland and one of the largest in Europe, moreover it has favourable properties for storage (thicker seams, good permeability, and fair gas contents) compared to other European coal basins.
