Abstract: The precise definition, systematic method and thought of coalbed methane redound to in-depth coalbed methane study. The origin of coalbed methane is multi-original and it has multi-occurrence in coalbed based on summing up the latest information and literatures, combined with the experience and practice of coalbed methane exploration. The coalbe methane is natural gas in coalbed and the coalbed methane system is a natural system that encompasses coal beds and coalbed methane in them as well as all the geologic elements and processes as required for forming a coalbed gas pool. The coalbed is the focus of the coalbed methane system.

Key words: coalbed methane, coal bed, adsorption, coalbed methane system
