National energy board is compiling the development and utilization of the coalbed methane 1025 "plan", "at the end of 1025" put forward, ", Chinese CBM output will reach 200 million ~ 2.4 billion cubic meters, of which the ground CBM 100 billion ~ 110 mining underground billion cubic meters, CaiLiang 110 billion gas drainage 130 million cubic meters.

The more analytic personage points out, CBM industry scale will double in the next five years. At present, China's underground, the ground is 75 CBM totals for the proportion of natural gas, billion cubic meters of less than 10%. And according to the calculation, in the next five years there will be 160 billion cubic meters of natural gas gap, if 50% of CBM alternative, again calculate by on the industry chain, extend it to market space will be driven ten times the meter.
