Abstract

The concept of “Coalbed Technology” (CBT) is introduced. CBT consists of various technologies related to energy recovery from coalbeds and multi-purpose use of coalbeds. These technologies consist of surface coal mining, underground coal mining, gas drainage, coalbed methane, underground coal gasification, underground coal combustion, underground coal liquefaction, underground coal pulverization, underground gas storage, cavity filling and underground waste disposal. Combinations of these methods can be used to increase the yield and optimize the economics. The concept of an Integrated Coalbed Development System (ICODES) is proposed. The importance of making a long-term plan for developing and utilizing the coalbed in considering these technologies is discussed.
