Abstract :
CO2 Enhanced Coal Bed Methane (ECBM) has been considered as one of the promising clean coal technologies to reduce green house gas emissions. Australia and China have begun a demonstrational project to explore the potential of ECBM in the gas/coal fields in Shanxi Province, China. A total of 12 ALOS PALSAR images and 354 SPOT VGT-S10 images have been successfully used to establish baseline information of ground deformation and vegetation dynamics on the site based on DInSAR and NDVI time series analysis respectively. Cross analysis between SOPT and MODIS has also been given. Such baseline information will play an important role in the future for monitoring environmental safety at the site.
