Models for Predicting Methane Gas Release from Coal Seams

Alan Cook

2005

Emission factors and calculation models for national greenhouse gas reporting, built from mine seam gas measurements and ventilation sampling, for environmental staff and inventory compilers.

What this report found

Emission factors derived from measured South African seam gas data give simple models for methane released by underground mining, surface mining and coal after mining. Applied across the industry they put total methane emissions at 52 000 to 93 000 tons a year. The models follow the IPCC Tier 2 approach using country specific factors.

What this report found

A digital wetland map and linked database were compiled for the Upper Olifants River Catchment from existing literature, existing wetland layers and aerial photography. Wetlands cover about 2 147 km2, some 14 per cent of the 15 158 km2 catchment. The wetland layer is about 70 per cent accurate and its attributes about 60 per cent, so it suits baseline screening rather than site assessment.

Evaluation of Three Native Grass Species and a Tree Species for Coal Mine Rehabilitation

Martin Platt

2009

Field trials established on prepared topsoil at three Mpumalanga Highveld collieries and measured to 2007, covering survival, cover, biomass and tree growth, for rehabilitation planners.

What this report foundCynodon dactylon outperformed Themeda triandra and Hyparrhenia hirta, reaching 100 per cent survival and cover at all three trial sites by 2007 with or without...

What this report found

Cynodon dactylon outperformed Themeda triandra and Hyparrhenia hirta, reaching 100 per cent survival and cover at all three trial sites by 2007 with or without fertiliser. Acacia sieberana reached 97 per cent survival at Kleinkopje Colliery but grew poorly at Optimum and Syferfontein. Planting plugs suits slopes too steep for a planter machine and buffers against pasture grass intrusion.
