IntroductionCoal is one of the dominant and abundant energy sources in the world and will become even more importantwhen oil and gas sources become more expensive to produce. However, directly utilizing coal by convention

9、al technologies is causing serious concerns resulting from the high emission of CO2 which is associated with climate chang Many attempts have been made to reduce the CO2 emission from coal sourced energy by means of various new or alternative technologies. An effective possibility is to integrate CO

10、2 capture and sequestration (CCS) with coal utilization processes2-3. However, CCS is expensive and its practical application would be advantageous if equal or additional benefits are available through CO2 sequestration. Coal bed methane (CBM) is associated with CO2 injection as an enhancement agent

11、, i.e. CO2-ECBM recovery, may present an attractive option for CCS, providing an economical solution to reduce CO2 emission from coal utilization processe4-5Commonly, CBM production relies on pressure depletion in a coal reservo ir which provides the primary recovery. Because the methane is adsorbed

12、 on the coal even at low pressures, this only allows a limited amount of the gas in place to be produced and typically 30-70% of the gas resource is never recovered6,CO2sequestration into coal seam can significantly improve this, permitting access to most of the remaining gas6-9.The CO2 has a strong

13、er affinity for the coal than methane and also a greater adsorption capacity, 2 to 10 times depending on coal rank at normal reservoir pressures10and displaces the methane which is then available for recovery. Thus CO2ECBM could recover the large majority of the methane-in-place, while also having t

14、he added benefit that a large volume of greenhouse gas is sequestered in the coal.There are many factors that affect the CBM and CO2-ECBM processes. One of the most important is the dynamic response of coal bed permeability to methane production and CO2 injection11.This comes about because of the st

15、ructural deformation of the coal, caused by coal matrix shrinkage or swelling as desorption or adsorption of gases occurs12-13, and volumetric changes that occur as the system stresses respond to water drainage and gas injection/drainage14. The extent of deformation determines the dynamic permeabili

In particular, the interaction of deformation and fluid flow in coal beds is one of the major unknowns in CBM and CO2-ECBM processes.Within China, development of unconventional natural gas from coal has become an important part of energy policy, because of its increasing demand for
