CO 2 -enhanced coalbed methane (CO 2 -ECBM) technology helps to store CO 2 while producing a clean source of energy (CH 4 ) through the sorption process. This technique can sequester much CO 2 at low temperatures and pressures while recovering CH 4 , which will help offset the associated costs, such as capturing injection gases, drilling and completion infrastructure, compression, and injection expenses. This review paper critically analyzes the CO 2 sequestration potentiality in deep unmineable coal seams. The results revealed that, despite several researchers' insights from proposed concepts, experimental data, modeling and simulations, and pilot tests, there are no reported full field CO 2 -ECBM technology applications for CO 2 sequestration and CH 4 recovery because implementing the projects is uneconomical. Also, CO 2 sequestration and CH 4 recovery effectiveness on coal seams depend on wettability changes of the CO 2 −H 2 O−coal system. The identified research gaps and challenges in this paper are going to help various researchers and shareholders in conducting extra investigations toward full field application of CO 2 sequestration while simultaneously producing a clean source of energy (CH 4 ) in deep unmineable coal seams to meet the Paris climate summit agreement to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and a maximum global temperature rise of 1.5 °C.
