Study on clean development of coalbed methane in China

Coalbed methane,with rich reserves in China,is a quality new energy of strategic significance.Hence,utilization of the gas in a scientific manner can effectively address the energy crisis problem.However,use of the gas cannot be said to be optimistic in China at present since a variety of problems surface.From the perspective of clean development mechanism,this paper explores the valuable experiences of other countries in coalbed methane development,in an attempt to find a roadmap on which China can overcome the dilemma in coalbed methane development and that is suitable for its own situations.It is expected to look for an effective point where the clean development mechanism is in conjunction with the coalbed methane,and come up with the measures for China's coalbed methane to step onto a benign path of scaled production.
