Any comprehensive approach to substantially reduce greenhouse gases must address the world's dependency on coal for one-quarter of its energy demand, including almost half of its electricity demand. To maintain coal in the world's energy mix in a carbon-constrained future would require development of a technology to capture and store its carbon dioxide emissions. This situation suggests to some that any greenhouse gas reduction program be delayed until such carbon capture technology has been demonstrated. However, technological innovation and the demands of a carbon control regime are interlinked; a technology policy is no substitute for environmental policy and should be developed in concert with it. This book explores developing a means to control coal-derived greenhouse gas emissions which is an imperative if serious reductions in world-wide emissions are to occur in the foreseeable future.

An ever-growing demand for coal and non-coal minerals has necessitated the adoption of mega-blast in conjunction with high capacity excavating equipment. Therefore blast design and its optimization have attracted special attention in the mining industry under the current scenario of tight fiscal constraints. Various researchers suggested unequivocally that the overall mining cost is largely influenced by blasting performance and the entire mining cycle may be jeopardised due to improper blast design. Blasting performance of an explosive is dependent on its detonic properties, the rock mass response to dynamic explosive loading and the confinement provided by the blast design. A new blast design approach has been developed in this book to design the blast using high speed video camera. This new design approach will be helpful in designing the complex blasts in mines.

This special publication no. 4 of the European Association of Petroleum Geoscientists and Engineers is devoted to some recent developments in the petroleum geology of France. Most of the papers have been presented either as oral or poster communications at the special session "Hydrocarbons of France" of the EAEG - EAPG Paris Conference (June, 92). A few additional papers have been added for their thematic interest, such as recent advances in sequence stratigraphy and structural geology applied to exploration of oil and gas in complex areas. Synthetic papers are also presented, covering most of the French sedimentary basins including a few oversea French agreements and territories.
