Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsCoalbed methane (CBM) is used for
1. As feedstock for fertilisers
2. As compressed natural gas (CNG) auto fuel
3. Steel plants
4. Methanol production
Select the correct answer code:Correct
d) 1, 2, 3, 4
Coalbed methane (CBM):
CBM, like shale gas, is extracted from what are known as unconventional gas reservoirs — where gas is extracted directly from the rock that is the source of the gas (shale in case of shale gas and coal in case of CBM).
The methane is held underground within the coal and is extracted by drilling into the coal seam and removing the groundwater. The resulting drop in pressure causes the methane to be released from the coal.
According to the Central Mine Planning and Design Institute (CMPDI), CBM can be used for power generation, as compressed natural gas (CNG) auto fuel, as feedstock for fertilisers, industrial uses such as in cement production, rolling mills, steel plants, and for methanol production.
