Coalbed methane - Wikipedia
Coalbed methane (CBM or coal-bed methane), coalbed gas, coal seam gas (CSG), or coal-mine methane (CMM) is a form of natural gas extracted from coal beds. In recent decades it has become an important source of energy in United States, Canada, Australia, and other countries. The term refers to methane adsorbed into the solid matrix of the coal. It is called 'sweet gas' because of its lack of ...

An environmental risk assessment for coal bed, coal mine and abandoned mine methane operations in
Coal mine methane and abandoned mine methane . CMM is the long established process of removing methane from a working mine toenable planned coal production rates to be achieved safely by capturing methane at high concentrations before it enters the mine roadways. Gas emissions into the face or longwall can then be satisfactorily diluted by ventilation air (DTI 2001b). This in turn makes ...

Working Mine Methane Coal Mine Methane CMM
Coal mine methane (CMM) is a type of gas present in active, working mine sites. This gas is extracted from the air in the coal mine helping improve safety and preventing uncontrolled release of methane to atmosphere. CMM is a mixture of methane air released during the process of coal mining and must be vented for safety reasons. Methane has significant effects as a greenhouse gas being 21 ...

Coal bed methane - Energy Education
Coal bed methane is methane trapped in underground coal seams. This type of methane can be accessed using drilling techniques similar to those used in the collection of shale gas. In these deposits, the methane is attached to the surface of the coal. Generally, the seams are also covered in water which must be pumped out to obtain the methane. Pumping out the water
