The organic geochemistry research group in GSJ/AIST is in charge of the geochemical<br />

monitoring of soil <strong>gas</strong> from in the vicinity of the injection well (IW-1) in order to test for the<br />

possible leakage of injected CO 2 . Also, a major topic for the research is geochemical<br />

monitoring of the behavior of CO 2 behavior in the coal seam. This has been undertaken so<br />

that the time for injected CO 2 to reach to PW-1 could be detected by measurements of CBM<br />

composition and 13 C carbon isotopes.<br />

GEOCHEMICAL MONITORING OF SOIL GAS<br />

The analyzed soil <strong>gas</strong> samples were collected from seven locality points. Four points (G-3, G-<br />

3-1, G-3-2, G-3-3) were located at less than 50 m from IW-1, another three (G-1, G-2, G-4)<br />

were situated several hundreds of metres distant (Figure 4).<br />
