Analysis of methane as energy fuel – operational issues
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2023) Kalwar, Adam; Pytel, Krzysztof; Kurdziel, Franciszek; Grzywnowicz, Grzegorz; Melnyk, Mykhaylo
Issues that are related to the operation of cogeneration generators that are powered by gas engines that use mine gas as a fuel are presented. Gas engines are increasingly being used to drive electric generators; in such an application, gas is used as a fuel, whether it is mine gas, coke oven gas, septic tank gas, or mains natural gas. In an area where coal is mined, mine gas is commonly used as a fuel to power combined heat and power (CHP) generators. The use of mine gas as a fuel is highly desirable – both for environmental and economic reasons. The benefits and difficulties of using this gas as a fuel are presented.
