<strong>Abandoned</strong> <strong>Mine</strong> <strong>Project</strong> Case Studies<br />
This section includes three case studies of successful abandoned mine methane projects. All<br />
three projects are operating in the Midwestern U.S. The Grayson Hill Energy project, operating in<br />
Southern Illinois, is a pipeline sales project that also uses abandoned mine methane to operate<br />
the project’s gas processing plant. The Kings Station <strong>Mine</strong> project of Gibson County, Indiana is<br />
selling gas through a local pipeline to an automobile plant. The DTE <strong>Methane</strong> Resources project<br />
is selling abandoned mine methane to a pipeline in Southern Illinois. These particular projects<br />
were selected for profiling based on their level of success and the variety of end uses the projects<br />
present.<br />
Basic information about the projects is outlined in the case studies, such as location and project<br />
developer information, followed by a detailed analysis of each project. Each study explains how<br />
the project was selected and what technology is in use, as well as any barriers that were<br />
overcome.<br />
