Natural gas (methane) production from coal seams is recognized as one of the valuable energy sources due to high storage capacity of coal to store gas at low pressures. It is known that coal composition, pore structure, and mineral matter properties affect both the amount of adsorbed quantity and kinetics of adsorption when the coals are considered for natural gas production or mediums for storing gas, mainly methane or carbon dioxide.

Experimental analysis of adsorption capacities and behaviors of shale samples
Merey, Şükrü; Sınayuç, Çağlar; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2013)
In recent years, unconventional reserves such as shale gas reservoirs have become a major alternative source of energy in the world. It is known that Turkey has shale gas potentials especially in the Southeastern and Thrace region. In shale gas reservoirs, significant amounts of natural gas exist as conventional “free” gas in porous spaces as well as “adsorbed” gas on shale matrix. Understanding adsorption capacities and behaviors of shale gas reservoirs may help exploitation and resource evaluation. In thi...
Carbondioxide capture by copper oxide nanoparticles decorated supports

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas emitted through human activities such as combustion of fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil) for energy and transportation. The amount of CO2 released to the atmosphere can be decreased by using CO2 adsorbing materials. Zeolites and activated carbons outshine with their high surface areas for the purpose of adsorbing gas molecules. Their highly porous, three dimensional structures makes them great host to trap gas molecules and purifying industrial gase...
Flexibility modelling of natural gas contracts: İstanbul case

Natural gas is one of the main energy source in the world and plays an important role in energy demand. The liberalization process in the natural gas market has shifted the focus on the Local Distribution Companies (LDCs) which make the procurement and transportation decisions. The decisions such as the pipeline sales, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) sales, other sources of natural gas procurement, transportation and storage opportunities provide the LDCs an opportunity to trade the natural gas in a least-costs...
Critical evaluation of the energy resources of Turkey with respect to the world prospects
Aydemir, Mehmet Olcay; Mehmetoğlu, Mustafa Tanju; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2010)
Existing petroleum and natural gas reserves, which are the major supplies of primary energy demand of the world, are cumulated in a few countries. This causes a serious supply security problem for many countries. On the other side, greenhouse gas emissions caused by mainly fossil fuels are gradually increasing to a point which jeopardizes the future of the earth. By now, countries have to consider both their supply security and this global environmental problem while planning their energy future. For Turkey...
CO2 Decline in Alaşehir (Turkey) Geothermal Reservoir
Akın, Serhat; Aydın, Hakkı; AKIN, TAYLAN (2021-10-01)
Reinjection of gas free of brine into the peripheries of a geothermal reservoir may gradually decline non-condensable gas (NCG) concentration in the reservoir fluid during the operation of geothermal power plants. As a result, gradually decreasing gas emissions can be observed. In this study, we use separator data to calculate produced CO2 amount in the reservoir fluid. The data used is from the Alaşehir geothermal area that is certainly not the one and only target for geothermal production in Turkey. Data ...
