Global Coal Bed Methane Market Overview
Coal bed methane market accounted for USD 124.41 million in 2020 and is estimated to be USD 288.63 million by 2030 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 8.9%.
Coal bed methane (CBM) is a form of natural gas and content of coal deposit or coal seams. Coal bed methane is formed by the process of coalification and is recovered from underground coal after, during, and before mining operation. Coal bed methane consists of pure methane, which is used as clean-burning fuel and it contains lesser impurities and requires minimal processing. This coal bed methane is considered eco-friendly than oil, coal, or even conventional natural gas. It is an unconventional form of natural gas found in coal deposits or coal seams. It is a clean energy source of natural gas. The controversy surrounding coal bed methane extraction has to do with the use of water during the process and its impact on global climate change. It involves pumping of large volumes of waters out of coal seams to reduce the hydrostatic pressure and proliferate the gas.
Global Coal Bed Methane Market Drivers & Restraints
Rising demand of natural gas
Coal Bed Methane market is expected to drive the market owing to growing application of natural gas into manufacturing, residential and automotive sector. Increasing emission of methane from conventional fuel and lower price of coal bed methane compared to other unconventional natural gases are expected to propel the growth of global coal bed methane market. Increasing exploration and extraction of coal bed methane on a global scale is expected to drive coal bed methane production over the forecast period. This leads to growth of the coal bed methane market. In addition, increasing concern about environmental issues such as increase in carbon-di-oxide level and earning carbon credits are other factors estimated to fuel growth of the global coal bed market. However, risk involved in the extraction of methane from coal bed hinders the global coal bed market.
However, the dewatering of coal bed methane well consumes a lot of time, increasing the overall cost of its development which is a major challenge to this market leads to hamper of the growth of global coal bed methane market.
