Methane Sources
• Wellhead flaring gases
- $1 billion worth of gas is flared off in North Dakota
- Methane is a large part of oil well gaseous products
- Lack of CNG pipelines makes
transportation uneconomical
- Strong interest in gas capture
- Legislation being considered
Alkcon Corporation
Energy • Environment • Empowerment
Methane Sources
• Coal mine methane and coal seam gas (CSG)
- Methane gas is absorbed into the solid matrix of coal
- Gas is released during coal mining operations and
continues after mining operations cease
- CSG production has increased
by 120% over the last decade
- Large opportunity for CSG
development in Australia
and Asia-Pacific region
Alkcon Corporation

Methane Sources
• Anaerobic digestion
- Over 2,200 sites in the US producing and capturing
large amounts of biogas (methane and CO2)
- More than 11,000 more sites that could be developed
- Uses food refuse, fats,
manure, agricultural waste,
as a feedstock
- Feed gas for ‘biopropane’
production in Europe
Alkcon Corporation
Energy • Environment • Empowerment
Methane Sources
• Landfill gas
- From the decomposition of organic material in municipal
solid waste landfills
- Landfills produce hundreds of billions of cu/ft of
methane per year
- Much of the gas is simply
released or flared off
- Legislation expected
Alkcon Corporation
Energy • Environment • Empowerment
Methane Sources
• Wastewater treatment
- Over 21,000 wastewater treatment plants in the US
- Accounts for up to 11% of global methane emissions
