Huainan, Anhui Province

China's coal basins have total coalbed methane resources of up to 30 to 35 trillion cubic meters (more than one thousand TCF) of methane, and its gassiest coal mines liberate 9 billion cubic meters (320 BCF) of methane annually. The opportunities for developing coal mine methane and coalbed methane (CMM/CBM) in China are tremendous, especially given the nation's growing demand for clean energy and the government's focus on CMM/CBM development.

This Symposium is the culmination of more than two years of joint effort by the China State Administration of Coal Mine Safety Supervision and U.S. EPA to identify and market the best opportunities for CMM development in China.  This joint project has identified eight coal mining companies that are especially favorable in terms of CMM/CBM resource and market potential.

With the Asian Development Bank's (ADB) recent agreement to allocate substantial funding to finance CMM/CBM projects in China, opportunities for project development have never been better.

The  Symposium will feature presentations and discussions on investment opportunities, developments in technology and infrastructure, and financing and policy issues.
