Coal bed methane (CBM) is the main part of the market analysis and can be understood as the natural gas found in most coal deposits. It is created during the coalification process where plant material is converted into coal over a period of millions of years. In addition, CBM consists of the best options rendered by pure methane, which is a clean-burning fuel. It contains lesser impurities and requires minimal processing. It is more eco-friendly than oil, coal, or even conventional natural gas.
Coal Bed Methane Market COVID 19 Analysis
The global emergence of the novel coronavirus pandemic has had its effect on the growth potential of the coal bed methane market share for the forecast period of 2022-2030 followed by the pandemic year of 2020.

Recent Developments
- The U.S. region, as a part of North America, contributes to the larger part of current CBM extraction and has developing generation potential globally. The high degree of innovation and experience procured in the U.S. region could be promptly applied globally. A standout among the most encouraging markets is the Australian region, where CBM, or coal seam gas (CSG), is a noteworthy source for satisfying liquid natural gas (LNG) demand. The coal bed methane market trends suggest that there has been a demand for LNG that is expected to rise in the adjacent Asia-Pacific markets, transferring the growth to CBM as a substitute. India, China, and Russia have critical market stores, which are estimated to gain a surge in extraction by 2017.
- In 2016, the power generation segment of the global CBM market in terms of revenue had accounted for around one-third share of the global coal bed methane market. In terms of volume, the power generation segment had accounted for approximately 30% share of the overall market. Power generation is emerging as the most lucrative segment for investment in the global CBM market, and the main reason behind this is the demand for natural gas in various end-user industries. Thus, the global market segment is anticipated to show a high growth rate and significant return on investment for stakeholders due to its notable revenue contribution.
