Coalbed methane resource is huge above 2 000 m in buried depth. An injection of CO2 into coalbed can increase coalbed methane recovery, which can increase coalbed methane yield by 3.751×1012 m3 above 2 000 m in buried depth. This paper, from multi-gas competitive absorption, coal volume expansion after CO2 injection and its influence over penetrability and mechanics, and on-site tests, gives an introduction to its development progress worldwide. The on-site tests in several nations acquired similar results. This paper presents some factors needing consideration in study and on-site tests, such as the relation between multi-gas competitive absorption and coal molecular structure, absorption expansion volume and gas injection volume, relation between injection pressure and coal ranks, and safety issue by volume expansion after CO2 injection into coalbed during mining.
