<p>A method of exploring and/or exploitation of carbonaceous deposits while mitigating damage to surface and overburden features and/or other adverse impacts accompanying carbonaceous deposit exploitation. The first step prepares the deposit for methane extraction, followed by extracting and utilising the released methane and other volatiles. An intermediate step evaluates information gained in the first step for a further step following synergistically on the first step and which uses the same infrastructure for in situ underground gasification, using thermochemical and/or microbiological gasification/vaporisation techniques. The gases from both steps are used locally or are piped elsewhere as a source of energy or as a chemical feedstock.</p> |
