CO 2 -enhanced coalbed methane (CO 2 -ECBM) technology helps to store CO 2 while producing a clean source of energy (CH 4 ) through the sorption process. This technique can sequester much CO 2 at low temperatures and pressures while recovering CH 4 , which will help offset the associated costs, such as capturing injection gases, drilling and completion infrastructure, compression, and injection expenses. This review paper critically analyzes the CO 2 sequestration potentiality in deep unmineable coal seams. The results revealed that, despite several researchers' insights from proposed concepts, experimental data, modeling and simulations, and pilot tests, there are no reported full field CO 2 -ECBM technology applications for CO 2 sequestration and CH 4 recovery because implementing the projects is uneconomical. Also, CO 2 sequestration and CH 4 recovery effectiveness on coal seams depend on wettability changes of the CO 2 −H 2 O−coal system. The identified research gaps and challenges in this paper are going to help various researchers and shareholders in conducting extra investigations toward full field application of CO 2 sequestration while simultaneously producing a clean source of energy (CH 4 ) in deep unmineable coal seams to meet the Paris climate summit agreement to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and a maximum global temperature rise of 1.5 °C.

“…Methane produced is used as an energy source rather than releasing it into the atmosphere, which can defeat the purpose of sequestering CO2 as methane is 23 times more potent GHG than CO2 (Riley 2010). A study by Tambaria et al (2022) concluded that moisture, maceral and pore size and characteristics of injected gas are the three most important factor that determine the efficiency of the ECBMR process. Table 6 of Leung et al (2014) lists the ECBMR plants.…”

Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is a three-tier process- carbon capture, transport andstorage. The capture consists of pre-combustion, oxy-combustion and post-combustion capture.Transport of CO2 is most viable through pipelines.The biotic CO2storage occurs throughterrestrial or oceanic pathways and can be simulated naturally or artificially. The abiotic/geologicstorage is achieved through sequestering CO2 in depleting/depleted hydrocarbon reserves, indeep saline aquifers or through mineral carbonation. At the district level, 64 out of 641 districts(2013 government reports) accounted for ~ 60% of the total CO2 emissions. Controlling CO2emissions comes with the challenge of sustainable socio-economic growth of the country- ademanding task for the economy. Indian organizations have made international collaborations.India holds a substantial geological sequestration potential in its basaltic rocks, coal seams,depleted oil reserves, soils, deep saline aquifers and sedimentary basins. At this point, no carboncapture and storage / clean development mechanism projects are operational in the country. Thenext 10-15 years would be very crucial for India to attain technological advancement to deploylarge-scale CCS projects.

“…Drying and crushing low-rank coal in Indonesia increase its CO 2 adsorption capacity, with drying having a more significant effect than crushing . Dry coal was also found to have a greater capacity for transporting gases and storing CO 2 than coal containing moisture, while coal with high moisture content had a lower gas adsorption capacity. − The adsorption capacity of CO 2 is also influenced by other specific characteristics of coal, such as ash yield, maceral content, and coal pore effects. − …”

Understanding the inhibitory factors affecting the adsorption of CO 2 on low-rank coal from shallow-depth coal seams is essential to identify potential coal seams for CO 2 sequestration. The CO 2 adsorption capacity of shallow-depth coals was measured at a low pressure on raw and dry coals. The samples were also prepared for organic analyses, scanning electron microscopy analyses, and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption analyses to evaluate the CO 2 adsorption and identify the inhibitory factors. An investigation was conducted to determine how CO 2 adsorption occurs on coal by fitting experimental data to adsorption isotherm models, followed by analyzing the results based on the statistical analysis. In addition, this study used Henry's law, surface potential, and Gibbs free energy to identify the adsorption inhibitor between CO 2 and coal. The CO 2 adsorption experiment was conducted on raw coal with a moisture content of 15.18−20.11% and dry coal with no moisture. The experimental data showed that the CO 2 adsorption capacity in dry coal was 1.6−1.8 times greater than that in raw coal. A fitting graph between the adsorption data and the isotherm model indicated that CO 2 adsorption on coal occurred on monolayers and multilayers under raw and dry conditions. Statistical evaluation of the adsorption isotherm models showed that the Langmuir and Freundlich models aligned more closely to the experimental data. According to this result, low-pressure adsorption of CO 2 on coal occurred in monolayers and multilayers under raw and dry conditions. Coal containing a high huminite content had a higher potential for CO 2 adsorption, and the drying increased the positive relationship. On the other hand, coal containing high inertinite content inhibited CO 2 adsorption onto the coal, but the drying process did not adversely affect CO 2 adsorption. Furthermore, coal with high moisture and inertinite content inhibited the affinity, accommodation, and spontaneous CO 2 adsorption onto the coal. CO 2 adsorption could lead to swelling, but moisture loss opened more sites and micropores, resulting in the swelling effect not closing all micropores in dry coal. Based on these results, coal seams with low moisture and inertinite content are the most promising for CO 2 adsorption. Altogether, this study provides an understanding of the percentage of inhibitor factors that affects CO 2 adsorption on low-rank coal from shallow depths, which may lead to different CO 2 adsorption capacities.
