With reference to two non-conventional energy sources called ‘coal bed methane’ and ‘shale gas’, consider the following statements:

1.Coal bed methane is the pure methane gas extracted from coal seams, while shale gas is a mixture of propane and butane only that can be extracted from fine-grained sedimentary rocks.

2.In India abundant coal bed methane sources exist, but so far no shale gas sources have been found.

Coal bed methane (CBM) is an unconventional form of natural gas found in coal deposits or coal seams.
It is a primary clean energy source of natural gas.
These CBM blocks are in the states of West Bengal, Assam, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
Shale gas is natural gas found in shale deposits, where it is trapped in microscopic or submicroscopic pores.
The Shale Gas formations are spread over several sedimentary basins such as Cambay, Gondwana, Krishna-Godavari and Cauvery on-land.
