oh dear™: Budget backlash

Coal isn't a single homogenous material, it's actually a carbon matrix containing a wide range of volatile organic compounds locked into a solid form. The two processes discussed above both have the same kind of effect. They both extract those compounds from the coal leaving the carbon behind. The methane is just one of the things that gets extracted and then broken down to release the hydropgen it contains.

Ah, I see. So the carbon isn't burnt after all. Where does the methane come from?

Yer bum.
