  • Coalmine Methane Under Indian Mining Scenario
    Coalmine Methane Under Indian Mining Scenario CMM under Indian Mining Scenario • In India coal is a reliable energy resource due to limited availability of petroleum and natural gas. • Coal based non-conventional energy is poised to play a major role in India as : 9 It would bridge the gap between demand and availability of conventional energy source 9 International trading scenario in energy sector has been stormy 9 Environmental concerns has given impetus to clean coal technologies. • Under the scenario, Coalbed Methane (CBM) and its subsets like Coal Mine Methane (CMM) and Abandoned Mine Methane (AMM) may find important place in Indian Energy scenario in coming years. CMM under Indian Mining Scenario Development of CBM in India • Out of different sub-sets of Coalbed Methane (CBM), CBM from the deep lying coal deposits (VCBM) has been pursued. • So far 16 Coalbed Methane (VCBM) blocks have been allotted under CBM policy of GoI covering an area of 7807 sq. km and prognosticated CBM resource of 825 BCM. • 10 more blocks have been opened for global bidding. • Several core wells/pilot wells have been drilled in the allotted blocks and are giving encouraging results. • Few operators are planning commercial production from 2007- 08. • The total production potentiality in the allotted blocks is 23 MMSCMD, which is about 10% of the existing Natural Gas demand. CMM under Indian Mining Scenario Coal Mine Methane and Abandoned Mine Methane • Coal Mine Methane (CMM)/ Abandoned Mine Methane (AMM) also subset of CBM is related to mining activities and as per MOU between MoC and MoP&NG, coal producing companies have right of CBM exploitation in their working mines including pre and post mining operations.
