The global coal bed methane (CBM) market size reached US$ 19.8 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 29.2 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3% during 2024-2032.
Coal bed methane (CBM) is a natural, colorless, and odorless hydrocarbon gas, which is absorbed into the solid matrix of the coal. It is obtained from unconventional gas reservoirs by transforming plant material into coal. Its extraction process usually involves minimal risk of explosion hazards in underground coal mines. As a result, it is used as an alternative source of energy in gas turbines for power generation worldwide.
A considerable surge in electricity consumption around the world due to improving income levels and increasing construction of residential homes represents one of the key factors bolstering the growth of the market. This can also be attributed to the growing electrification of heat and buildings and the escalating demand for digitally connected devices. Moreover, the rising adoption of cost-effective and green fuels on account of increasing environmental concerns and stringent government policies on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is driving the demand for CBM across the globe. CBM can be converted into diesel, gasoline, or compressed natural gas (CNG), which are commonly used as biofuels in automobiles. Apart from this, CBM is utilized in the production of methanol that finds diverse applications in wastewater treatment and the chemical industry. Furthermore, the escalating usage of CBM as a feedstock for manufacturing fertilizers and plastics is providing lucrative opportunities to manufacturers for expanding their consumer base in the agriculture industry. Besides this, the rising need for clean-burning fuels is further influencing the adoption of CBM in industrial applications, such as cement production, rolling mills, and steel plants, which is projected to strengthen the market growth in the coming years.
