According to the EIA, CBM accounted for approximately 5% of the total natural gas production in the US in 2019.

Coal Bed Methane (CBM)

Coal bed methane, also known as coal seam gas, is a type of natural gas that is extracted from coal beds. It is formed when organic matter in coal deposits is broken down by bacteria, producing methane gas. Coal bed methane can be extracted through drilling techniques that are similar to those used for conventional natural gas. However, coal bed methane extraction can also pose environmental risks, such as groundwater contamination and methane emissions. As a result, the development of coal bed methane resources has been a subject of debate in many countries around the world. In this ar…

In the US, wood fuel is primarily used for heating homes and businesses, as well as for generating electricity.

Wood Fuel

According to the US Department of Energy, wood and wood waste accounted for 2% of total US energy consumption in 2020. While wood fuel is renewable and can be produced domestically, it is also associated with several environmental and sustainability challenges, such as deforestation and air pollution. Despite these challenges, wood fuel is likely to remain an important energy source for many communities, particularly in rural areas, where access to other energy sources may be limited.
