II. How is CBM formed
Coalbed methane (CH4) forms in one of two ways. During the earliest stage of coalification (the process that turns plant detritus into coal), biogenic methane is generated as a by-product of bacterial respiration. Aerobic bacteria (those that use oxygen in respiration) first metabolize any free oxygen left in the plant remains and the surrounding sediments. In fresh water
Sulfur Dioxide(SO2)
The release of SO2 to the atmosphere is the primary cause of acid rain in the world.
Fossil fuel combustion at electric power-generating plants accounts for about70% of
the emissions.
Coal, Oil, and all other fossil fuels naturally
contain some sulfur.
Volcanic eruptions are another more localized natural source of SO2

production costs. The main technical issues for these high-temperature processes relate to materials development for corrosion resistance at high temperatures, high-temperature
membrane and separation processes, heat exchangers, and heat storage media. Design aspects and safety are also important for high-temperature processes.

Hydrogen is one of well-known clean energy source.
Several technologies are already available in the marketplace for the industrial production of hydrogen.
Hydrogen can be produced from a variety of feedstocks.
