About Coalbed Methane (CBM):

Coalbed methane gas (CBM) (or coal seam gas (CSG) or coal-mine methane (CMM)), is a form of natural gas extracted from coal seams or coal deposits. CBM is generated during the process of coalification which is the transformation of plant material into coal and is contained in the coal microstructure. Typical CBM recovery entails initially pumping water out of the coal to allow the natural gas to escape. Methane is the principal component of the natural gas from CBM production, which is typically made up of 95 per cent methane and normally does not contain hydrogen sulphide or other sulphur compounds. Natural gas produced from CBM can normally be added to natural gas pipelines without any special treatment.
