On October 17th -18th,¡°the 6th International Workshop on CBM/CMM
in China¡± was solemnly convened at Landmark Hotel in
Beijing. This international workshop was jointly sponsored
by State Administration of Work Safety(SAWS), U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) and the World Bank,and
was organized by National Institute for Occupational Safety
(NIOS).
Mr.Peng Jianxun, deputy minister of State Administration of
Coal Mine Safety(SACMS) attended the workshop and gave an
important lecture. Related leaders from National Development
and Reform Commission(NDRC), State Administration of Work
Safety(SAWS), State Administration of Coal Mine
Safety(SACMS),and Mr. David Murphy from the United States
Embassy in China, Dr. Pamela M. Franklin from Coalbed
Methane Outreach Program Climate Change Division of U.S.
EPA, Mr.Bert Hofman, chief economist of the World Bank, and
president Huang Shengchu, Mr. Dou Qingfeng-Secretary of CCP
of NIOS, deputy president Zhang Wenshan and He Guojia
attended the workshop. More than 130 experts and delegates
at home and abroad attended the workshop, including people

Development Programme(UNDP), U.S.A., U.K., Australia,
Canada, Italy, Spain, Japan and Sweden.
Deputy minister Peng Jianxun pointed out in the opening
address that Chinese government always attaches great
importance to the prevention and utilization of CBM/CMM, and
adopts a series of measures to enhance the prevention and
utilization projects. China has abundant Coal Mine Gas
resources£¬with a total amount of 30-35 trillion m3.The
exploration and utilization of CBM/CMM speed up in recent
yeas and it will certainly bring the huge commercial
opportunity and the broader cooperation prospect.
International Workshop on CBM/CMM is an important activity
in the field of CBM/CMM development, China and America had
already conducted five sessions successfully. The current
workshop which convenes in Beijing provides a good chance
for us to learn the advanced experience and technology from
both domestic and abroad. Using this platform, all the
delegates will carry on the wide-ranging exchange discussion
centered around the exploration and utilization of CBM/CMM,
show the new research products for internal and external,
and it will have a positive effect on promoting technology
with gas prevention, constructing intrinsically safety coal
mine, protecting safety of miner¡¯s life and promoting
exploration and utilization of Coal Mine Gas to benefit the
human beings.
Dr. Pamela M. Franklin, director of Coalbed Methane Outreach
Program Climate Change Division, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency(EPA) addressed on the opening ceremony,
highly praised the long-term cooperation between China and
America in the fields of CBM/CMM, especially the China
Coalbed Methane Information Center that set up under the
cooperation of both sides was praised as ¡°the model of
China-America cooperation¡±. This center had obtained a batch
of important research results for the past over 10 years,
including 120MW coalbed methane power plant in Jincheng
city, coal mine ventilation and gas utilization project in
Huainan, etc.
The two-day long workshop contained a seminar of the World
Bank on the topic of ¡°A Strategy for CBM/CMM Development and
Utilization in China¡±, which consists of controlling
technology of coal mine gas, technology of coal mine
ventilation and gas utilization, development of CBM/CMM, and
exploration of CDM project. The workshop had achieved the
anticipated effect, and it is a successful grand meeting. It
not only strengthened the international cooperation on the
field of CBM/CMM, but also improved the friendship among the
delegates from both domestic and abroad, it will have a
significant influence on development of CBM/CMM and
enhancement of the CBM/CMM safety. |
