Global Coal Bed Methane Market: Overview

Coal bed methane is nothing but the methane that is adsorbed by the solid components of the coal. It is distinct from typical sandstone or other gas reservoirs due to the adsorption process. Owing to the lack of hydrogen sulfide, it is also called as “sweet gas”. The methane adsorbed by the coal is in the near-liquid state. The open fractures may also contain free methane gas. It is important to drain out maximum methane gas during extraction process to avoid the risk of explosion. Countries with abundant coal reserves, high energy demand, and high population serve as lucrative markets.
