Grand Junction-based Ruby Canyon Engineering (RCE), an engineering consulting company whose main focus is greenhouse gas emissions, has been awarded a portion of the $400,000 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Methane to Markets grant. For this project, RCE is subcontracting with the University of Colorado.

Through this grant, RCE will develop inventories of gassy abandoned coal mines and estimate their abandoned mine methane emissions in the coal-bearing regions of Shanxi and Hebei Provinces, China. The project is scheduled to begin in March 2010. RCE was instrumental in developing the U.S. abandoned mine methane emissions inventory for the U.S. EPA.

Ruby Canyon Engineering Inc. was founded in 2005 and is located at 743 Horizon Court, suite 385. For more information, visit www.rubycanyoneng.com.
