Abstract

Coalbed methane is an important hazard source in the process of coal mine production, and it is also an important clean energy source with multiple ways of power generation and civil use. This paper summarizes the present situation of the development and utilization of coalbed methane, and discusses its prospect. Through the systematic review of the distribution of domestic coalbed methane resources, mining technology, policy environment and market demand, it is revealed that the importance of coalbed methane as a clean energy in the transformation of China 's energy structure is increasingly prominent. This paper analyzes the main technical paths in the current coalbed methane development and the application effect in improving the recovery rate. At the same time, the challenges faced in the development and utilization of coalbed methane are pointed out, such as complex geological conditions, water resource consumption, environmental pollution risk and economic benefit fluctuation. Furthermore, based on the existing research and practice, the paper looks forward to the innovation trend of coalbed methane development technology. In addition, the potential contribution to achieving the goal of carbon neutrality is also discussed. In summary, the development and utilization of coalbed methane is entering a new stage of rapid development. Technological innovation and policy guidance will be the key factors to promote its sustainable development, and provide strong support for the optimization of energy structure and environmental protection.
