Tapping of Natural Gas in Mines
The Minister of Mines and Development of North Eastern Region Shri B.K. Handique has said that Natural Gas is a gas consisting primarily of methane. Coal Bed Methane (CBM) is the methane gas associated with coal mines. If extracted from the virgin seams the operation is called CBM extraction and if the methane gas is extracted from the operating coal mines, the same is known as extraction of Coal Mine Methane (CMM).
In a written reply in the Lok Sabha today, he said, till date, Government of India has allotted 26 blocks for exploration and exploitation of CBM in the country including the eastern region. CBM development is already an ongoing commercial activity in the country and entrepreneurs are fully equipped with the technology in association with their principals abroad.
