      <narrative xml:lang="en">This grant supports a feasibility study (FS) on the proposed Coal Bed Methane / Coal Mine Methane (CBM/CMM) project in Georgia. The FS is evaluating the economic, financial, and technical viability of recovering methane from coal seams, active coal mines, and abandoned coal mines in the Tkibuli-Shaori Coal Basin. It is also evaluating various end-use options for the recovered methane. The development of CBM/CMM in the Tkibuli-Shaori Coal Basin would reduce dependence on natural gas imports, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and improve coal mine safety in Georgia.</narrative>
