Enhanced Coal Bed Methane (CBM) Recovery
Main objective(s): To revalidate the enhanced biological methane from coal seams
Key outcomes/outputsIndia’s energy transition places strong emphasis on increasing the share of natural gas while reducing dependence on imported LNG. Coal Bed Methane (CBM) represents a significant domestic resource; however, recovery remains sub-optimal across major basins such as Jharia, Bokaro, and Raniganj due to inherent reservoir constraints and declining well performance.
