Coal Bed Methane Market Worth $25.2 Billion By 2027

Coal Bed Methane is an unconventional form of natural gas which is found in coal seams or coal deposits. It is also known as coal seam gas, virgin coal seam methane, or ‘sweet gas’, owing to a lack of hydrogen sulfide. There are different methods of recovering CBM, making it a very stable source of energy. Drilling cost is the major contributor to the overall production cost. Electricity cost, machine maintenance cost and operational costs also contribute to the total cost of production. The leading application area is power generation.

Natural gas is one of the most rapidly growing forms of energy and has made its presence felt significantly in the global energy market. It has been rapidly catching up with crude oil as a fuel alternative because of its cleaner existence. Natural gas has been able to successfully penetrate the transportation and domestic application markets, thus helping it evolve as the primary global fuel. However, there has been an increased emphasis on the usage of unconventional natural gas sources such as shale gas, tight gas, methane hydrates and CBM owing to the depletion of conventional natural gas reserves.

However, the market is also not without its challenges. The dewatering of a CBM well consumes a lot of time, increasing the overall cost of its development which is a major challenge to this market. The Chinese market has not reached its full potential owing to myriad issues ranging from geological conditions, to conflicting mining rights, to insufficient subsidies and difficulties faced in attracting private capital. Also, doubts still persist regarding the quality, quantity and dispersal of the water from the coal seams.

The U.S. dominates global production, followed by Canada. The Asia Pacific region is expected to be one of the fastest growing markets in the near future owing to an increase in drilling activities, primarily in coal rich countries such as India, Australia, China and Indonesia. In Europe, the United Kingdom also has gathered pace in extraction activities of coal bed methane. Australia has been a major contributor to the market, with coal seam gas exploration a thriving activity, and the industry is aggressively expanding in the New South Wales (NSW) region. Bowen basin, Surat basin and Sydney basin are some of the well-known sites for coal seam gas exploration. India and China are especially showing good promise in terms of coal bed methane reserves and their exploration.
