袁亮院士：首次突破！《煤矿低浓度瓦斯燃烧利用技术规范》即日实施

Core Viewpoint - The implementation of the energy industry standard "Technical Specifications for Stable Combustion and Waste Heat Utilization of Low-Concentration Coal Mine Gas" (NB/T 11753-2024) marks a significant step towards the safe and efficient utilization of low-concentration methane in coal mines, aligning with China's green and low-carbon transformation policies and enhancing the country's role in global methane commitments [1][3]. Group 1 - The standard provides systematic technical guidelines for the safe and stable combustion of low-concentration methane and direct thermal oxidation utilization, addressing key safety challenges such as backfire prevention, flameout prevention, and explosion risk [1][3]. - The standard is a response to the "14th Five-Year Plan" for energy green and low-carbon transformation and the "Methane Emission Control Action Plan," facilitating the development of carbon asset projects [1][3]. - The standard is expected to drive the industrialization of methane utilization, with a goal to increase the utilization rate from below 40% to over 60%, potentially generating over 5 billion yuan in annual economic benefits for mining areas [4][8]. Group 2 - The standard was jointly drafted by ten organizations, including Beijing Junfa Technology Group, Anhui University of Science and Technology, and China Coal Group, with contributions from leading experts in the field [4]. - The chief expert, Academician Yuan Liang, emphasized that the new standard breaks through the technical challenges of utilizing low-concentration methane directly, filling a gap in the industry standards [6]. - The implementation of the standard is projected to unlock a market space worth hundreds of billions, with existing demonstration projects validating the technology's feasibility [8].
