Where are the UKs CBM deposits?
The UK has been a prolific coal producer since 1900 – with production peaking in 1939. While methane has traditionally been vented and more recently collected (CMM) from coal mines, CBM is an underdeveloped industry in the UK. In 2000 a UK study mapped the potential of CBM reserves, and found significant CBM resources in the Midland Valley of Scotland, Canonbie, Cumbria, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, South Lancashire, North Staffordshire and North & South Wales.
