Description: Report examines the problems associated with the release of methane gas and mining.  The objects of the report are to: review the biological methods used to control methane case in coal mines, identify ways in which methane oxidizing bacteria may be slowed, discover any possible limitations of this technology, evaluate the potential to apply this technique for the control of methane during the transportation of coal, and to create a seminar based upon the technique along with recommendations for future work.
