Coal Bed Methane

Coal Bed Methane

The Global Coal Bed Methane Market was valued at USD 17.1 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 26.49 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period. CBM, a form of natural gas extracted from coal beds, is primarily composed of methane and serves as a clean-burning fuel. It offers significant potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to coal and traditional fossil fuels.

As governments tighten emission regulations and aim for energy independence, CBM development is being increasingly promoted across emerging and developed economies alike.
