Scenarios for the development of the coalbed methane market in the context of global energy trends

The article is devoted to the analysis of the coalbed methane market and the formation of scenarios for the development of the coalbed methane market, taking into account current global energy trends and environmental challenges. Based on a comprehensive analysis of data collection and processing on the state and forecasts of energy markets, the study highlights the potential of coalbed methane as a significant source of clean energy. The technical, environmental and economic aspects of methane use are considered, as well as strategies for minimizing environmental risks and increasing economic benefits are proposed. Special attention is paid to the projected growth of the market and the main factors influencing it, including the development of mining and technological innovations. The study also evaluates the regional distribution of global reserves and the potential for industrial development, especially in countries with rich methane resources.
