Abstract
Coal has always been associated with the generation of hydrocarbon gases (mostly methane). However, the production of gases on a commercial scale has been the aim of the industry. The assessment of gas content of coal is an important parameter which helps in the estimation of total gas content of the coal. This chapter illustrates the different methods available for the estimation of gas content of coal. Also, it elaborates the gas content of the Indian coal fields.
