Enhanced coal bed methane recovery; the use of CO2 to enhance the recovery of the methane present in unminable coal beds through the preferential adsorption of CO2 on coal.
The amount of greenhouse gas emissions reductions from a specific option that
could be achieved cost effectively, given prevailing circumstances (i.e. a market
value of CO2 reductions and costs of other options).
A technology that is well understood and used in selected commercial applications,
such as in a favorable tax regime or a niche market, processing at least 0.1
MtCO2/yr, with a few (less than five) replications of the technology.
Enhanced gas recovery: the recovery of gas additional to that
produced naturally by fluid injection or other means.
A normalized measure of GHG emissions in terms of activity, e.g., tons of GHG
emitted per ton of fuel consumed.
A commodity giving its holder the right to emit a certain quantity of GHGs (q.v.).
A trading scheme that allows permits for the release of a specified number of
tons of a pollutant to be sold and bought.
Concerning a chemical reaction that absorbs heat, or requires heat to drive it.

The gas employed in entrained flow (q.v.).
Enhanced oil recovery: the recovery of oil additional to that produced naturally by fluid injection or other means.
The zone of the ocean reached by sunlight.
A rock formed by evaporation.
Concerning a chemical reaction that releases heat, such as combustion.
