Coalbed Methane is a type of natural gas found in coal seams. It forms during the process of coal formation, where organic material is buried and subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years. This gas is primarily composed of methane, which is a clean-burning fuel that can be used for heating, electricity generation, and as a vehicle fuel.
Extracting Coalbed Methane involves drilling wells into coal seams to release the gas. This process can also help reduce the risk of coal mine explosions by lowering the pressure in the seams. As a result, Coalbed Methane is considered an important energy resource and a cleaner alternative to other fossil fuels.
