Durham Coalfield

[3] The following coal seams are recorded from the Durham coalfield.

They are listed here in stratigraphic order with the youngest at the top and the oldest/deepest at the bottom:[4] Upper Coal Measures Middle Coal Measures Lower Coal Measures With the development of modern technology to produce energy and capture carbon dioxide by carbon capture and storage (CCS)[5] there is renewed interest in the exploitation[6] of the Durham Coalfield reserves by underground coal gasification.

This is strategically important to local energy-intensive industries, such as the commodity chemical and steel members of the Northeast of England Process Industry Cluster (NEPIC).
