Liquid water boosts coalbed methane adsorption, revolutionizing energy resource evaluation.
The study looked at how water affects the ability of coal to store methane gas. By conducting experiments on coal samples from a specific region, researchers found that water in coal increases its ability to store methane. This goes against the belief that water has no impact on methane storage in coal. The results suggest that including water in coal samples during experiments can better simulate real conditions and improve the accuracy of predicting methane resources in coal beds.
