In published abstract of scientific contribution at geological consulting conference in Ljubljana the process of methanogenesis in Velenje coal basin, Slovenia was presented with the use of stable isotopes of carbon. It was found that methane is formed via both proceses CO2 reduction and acetate fermentation. The type of generation of methane is important in case of utilization of methane from coal seam (and therefore reducing emissions). The contribution was presented as poster to the researchers from Slovenia.

COBISS.SI-ID: 25325351In published abstract of scientific contribution at international geological conference in Darmstadt the process of methanogenesis in Velenje coal basin, Slovenia was presented with the use of stable isotopes of carbon. It was found that methane is formed via both proceses CO2 reduction and acetate fermentation. The type of generation of methane is important in case of utilization of methane from coal seam (and therefore reducing emissions). The contribution was presented as a lecture to the researchers from Europe, mostly Germany. The contribution is significant for application of this project since besides carbon isotopes also hydrogen and higher hydrocarbons will be measured (if present). Therefore our aim is to introduce and apply new method and upgrade existing knowledge on methane formation within Velenje Coal Basin.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 24050215In the report all results of measurements of coalbed gas composition and isotope measurements are listed, which were measured during PostDoc project. Besides all, analytical methods for beneficary are described. The application of described analytical method and characteriztion of coalbed gases will continue during proposed applied research project since new research project with Velenje Coalmine d.d. was applied and represents continuation of Postdoc project.
F.01 Acquisition of new practical knowledge, information and skills
COBISS.SI-ID: 24171559Analytical report comprises analytical results of composition and isotopic composition of coalbed gases of CO2 and methane. Results were sent to cofunder of applied podoctoral project and were used for publication of scientific papers.
D.08 Management and development of research activities
COBISS.SI-ID: 24971303During the podoctoral project the leader of applied podoctoal research project in years 2010 and 2011 cooperated with the Environmental Agency of the Republic of Slovenia (EARS) at calculations of emissions of heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants into air from energetic and industry sources. The product of cooperation with EARS was informative inventory report 2011 for Slovenia, which comprises reporting of emission inventory for all pollutants (SOx, NOx, VOC, PM, HM and POPs,..) into air for Slovenia from reference year 1990 together with explained emission factors for all sectors in compliance with NFR nomenclature. The project task is of national interest since it comprises the topic of reduction of pollutants in air.
