Indicators for the Evaluation of Coalbed Methane (CBM) Potential in Labuan, Sabah

Foremost, coal is a black or brownish-black sedimentary rock composed primarily of carbon and hydrogen along with small quantities of other elements such as sulphur. The coal used for analysis is collected from Labuan area. Coalbed methane (CBM) is one of the alternatives to extract the natural g...
