Even if bacteria can continue to break down coal and produce methane, it's not renewable when the coal runs out. That might not happen for a thousand or a million years, but it's not infinitely sustainable. Considering it "renewable" is still a minor and controversial opinion. It's not unreasonable to assume that technology will some day develop which might enhance the in-situ production of methane from coal beds and thus make it run out that much faster. Landroo ( talk) 19:39, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
The term renewable is a misnomer. 1) Most of the methane is still thermogenic. 2) It is old knowledge that some bacterial methane was mixed in. 3) They can only get an additional resource by manipulating the chemical environment. 4) The bacteria does not eat the solid coal; they eat hydrocarbons; most of the solid coal is highly phenolic and toxic to bacteria. 5) The hydrocarbons in the coals are not abundant; they will run out fast. 6)The Wyoming coals and the Fruitland coals in New Mexico are extra-ordinary (when mature) rich in special liptinitic hydrocarbon generating components. The "renewable" tag is purly a manipulative strategy. PETRSCIENT ( talk) 03:56, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
1) Open cavity completetion has played an very important role in CBM production and is nearly "unique" to CBM. Missing from the article.
2) Strange and unspecific statement that "coal from alabama can have different Langmuir para compared to xx, despite otherwise similar coal properties." PETRSCIENT ( talk) 04:05, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I'd like to add some text about a 2010 United States National Research Council report on coalbed methane produced water:
I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks, Earlgrey101 ( talk) 22:54, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
I added this text to the "Environmental Impacts" section and someone else deleted it. That's fine, but could you explain why? Otherwise I'd like to add the text back again. Earlgrey101 ( talk) 19:17, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

In this documentary it was claimed that you can't tell coal gas from shale gas, based on the carbon-14. According to the summary of this article, that is irrelevant; the gas from coal is nearly all methane, and the gas from shale is not. I believe the Gasland documentarian was over their head and needed to consult with independent researchers. It would have prevented this goof. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.196.121.15 ( talk) 17:28, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
I think this page needs a section on the opposition to Coal Bed Methane. In Australia there is massive opposition to Coal Seam Gas as they call it there from groups like Lock The Gate and in the UK there is opposition from groups like Frack Off. Allie Cabab ( talk) 14:11, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

APRIL 2022. I have just read an article on the abc.net.au that producing coal seam gas in Queensland, Australia has waste salts as by products which will require 'management forever'. It did not say what toxins these salts were. We need to know and all activities which require future generations to pay for such management are ill advised. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:1C5C:E438:BCFA:27 ( talk) 05:22, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
