Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/15/2011 -- Gas found in coal seams is referred as Coal Bed Methane (CBM) or Coal Seam Gas(CSG). CBM is like natural gas with methane concentration of as high as 95%, and thus can be used as a direct replacement of conventional natural gas. The major reserves of CBM are in U.S., Canada, Soviet Union, China and Australia; and they are the major producers too. Other countries with significant CBM presence such as India, Indonesia, UK, Botswana and more are also either producing or in test phase and will start production in future. Commercial deployment of CBM depends upon availability of natural gas pipeline infrastructure which needs to be extended to CBM basins.
Methane is a greenhouse gas (GHG) and if not extracted from coal seams, it emits during coal mining. Methane when emits during coal mining is known as coal mine methane (CMM) and increases GHG emission. CMM is also a threat for coal miners’ life. Reduction of CMM by prior extraction of CBM and future energy demands are the major drivers for exploration of CBM, development of pipeline infrastructure and innovations in extraction or drilling technologies.
The report 'Global Coal Bed Methane(CBM) Market by Technology, Geography, Application, Regulations, Market Trends & Forecast 2025' by MarketsandMarkets focuses on current reserves, basins, project developments, production as well as future potential. It identifies major drivers, restraints, opportunities and their current and future impacts. The report also includes company profiles for top players, competitive landscape and patent analysis.
