Wyoming researchers have licensed a process that feeds microbes in coal seams and oil shale to speed up coal-bed methane production.

Regal Resources Ltd. http://www.regalresources.com.au/ of Melbourne, Australia, has licensed the process from Western Research Institute of Laramie http://www.westernresearch.org/ for use in Australia and Northern Ireland, the company announced late last week.

It’s the first time the institute has licensed the process for use, said Alan Bland, vice president of waste and environmental management at the nonprofit institute.
