Coal bed methane (CBM) is a type of natural gas found in coal seams. It is formed during the process of coal formation and is primarily composed of methane, a clean-burning fossil fuel. CBM is extracted by drilling wells into coal beds, allowing the gas to be released and collected for use. This resource is considered an important energy source, especially in regions with abundant coal deposits. Coal bed methane can be used for electricity generation, heating, and as a feedstock for various chemical processes, contributing to energy security and economic development.
