See also: Coal gasification and Coal seam gas. Coal gas is a flammable gaseous fuel made from coal and supplied to the user via a piped distribution system. Town gas is a more general term referring to manufactured gaseous fuels produced for sale to consumers and municipalities.
Methane (CH 4) is a gas formed as part of the process of coal formation â coalification. When coal is mined methane is released from the coal seam and the surrounding disturbed rock strata.Methane can also be released as a result of natural erosion or faulting.The methane content in coal seams generally increases the deeper the seam, and also with age.oal seam gas of a high quality (typically with a concentration level of over 93%) can be fed into the existing gas pipeline network to supplement or replace conventional natural gas. The United States has been utilising vast quantities of coal seam methane in its natural gas supply since the early 1990s.
