'Waste' Gas Trapped To Heat Homes Business World virs-ssa Van Dolah said that "almost every explosion" in mines was caused by project said that the center's method of recovering methane may make available 250 trillion cubic feet of the gas buried in coal much of ct in Pennsylvania k----4n At that level they dug eight horizontal holes deep into the coal seam These: holes were linked to one pipeline Via Dolah said where the methane collected and flowed out of the shaft This then was lined to Consolidated's distribution system The coal seam of the experimental project won't be worked by Eastern for several years Van Do lab said enough time for the seam to be cleared of By STEVE TwomEY icalsee totwoomiers Writer Methane captured deep within coal mines is being used to heat homes and businesses for the first time in what federal researchers believe is a major step toward increasing the country's fuel supplies The breakthrough came in a remote corner of West Virginia when a pipeline from a mine shaft of the Eastern Associated Coal Co was linked to natural gas lines of the Consolidated Gas Co spewing forth enough previously wasted methane to heat 1000 homes Dr Robert Van Dolah director of the Pittsburgh Mining Safety and Research Center and head of the methane Normally huge ventilation systems pump out the methane cleaning the mine but wasting the gas Researchers using newly acquired knowledge about the move ent of methane in coal seams found that they could capture it in sufficient quantities for commercial use while cleaning out the mines said Maurice Deul project supervisor WITH THIS new technique scientists at the Eastern Associated shaft near Bula WVa dug a four-foot wide hole down to 800 feet where they widened it to create a 14-foot wide room THIS AMOUNT represents gas reserves of about 10 years Van Dolah said or almost double the known reserves in the United States "We anticipate recovering sizable portions of what (methane) exists" Van Do lah said Ile added that methane a form of natural gas is purer than the gas burned in homes today The $800000 10-year project was originally designed not to find new fuel sources but to solve the troublesome problem of snethane-caused explosions in mine shafts He predicted that coal companies would set up their own "methane mining" operations at sites they will be working in later years The costs of cleaning out these seams could be covered by revenue realized from the sale of methane to gas companies Van Dolah said Top Of Tower Closing To Public GM Tells Of Record '73 Profits Market

materials shortages conducted by the Carolinas Branch Associated General Contractors of America Branch President George Kane Jr said the Survey was conducted Jan 21-22 Here he said are highlights of the survey: Highway contractors are able to get asphalt however firm quotes are unavailable Contractors must pay the cost on the day of delivery And due to the petroleum shortage asphalt has jumped drastically in price since last November Bridge ccntractors have experienced a few delays due to demands upon an individual ready-mix plant at a given time Cement is a little short now but expected to improve soon Highway-heavy contractors are finding that structural steel orders require 4-6 weeks delivery Aggregates are generally in short supply in various grades used by highway contractors This is due to increased usage and lack of quarry expansion Transportation is becoming a problem Any material coming by rail faces boxcar shortages and truck deliveries are going up in costs For building contractors critical delayed items that necessitate the rescheduling of jobs are reinforcing steel light structural steel and steel bar joists Cement is in better supply while wire mesh is one of the most critical items Scheduling of jobs has become very critical and bidding is more complicated than ever For example a job that was bid for $400000 sixteen months ago would be bid at $486000 today In steel some suppliers report good supplies of steel joists others say they are having problems with availability of quality scrap metal used in the manufacture of reinforcing steel Most steel suppliers are giving firm price quotes of much shorter duration as costs are fluctuating daily Some companies say they are meeting delivery dates others are not guaranteeing firm delivery dates Officials report
