Abstract: An integrated low-carbon energy system includes a controller configured to control an amount of H2 gas added to pipe-based delivery system that carries mixture of a fossil fuel in gaseous form with the H2 gas as a minority component by volume, an H2-compatible fuel cell that converts the mixed gas into electricity, a data interface that receives an H2 allocation request signal on behalf of a facility that receives electricity produced by the H2-compatible fuel cell, wherein in response to the H2 allocation request signal, the controller is configured to control a change an addition rate of H2 from a first level to a second level that corresponds with a level requested in the request signal.

Abstract: A carbon-based gas extraction and storage system is described that includes a coal bed methane (CBM) energy production facility. A first well includes a first pump configured operate in an extraction mode in which methane from the CBM chamber is pumped from a CBM chamber, and convertible to an insertion mode in which CO2 is pumped into the CBM chamber. The second well extracts CBM from the CBM chamber. A controller controls the first pump to operate in the extraction mode and controllably switch to the insertion mode in which CO2 emissions from CBM processed by the CBM energy production facility are injected in the CBM chamber. Thus, first pump injects the CO2 emissions into the CBM chamber to assist in extraction of CBM and to permanently store the CO2 in the CBM chamber.
