India’s Hydrocarbon Outlook 2024 174 A Report on Exploration & Production Activities 2. Unconventional hydrocarbons for energy security and economic growth 2.1 Energy Security India is in energy transition towards a gasbased economy, aiming to increase the share of natural gas to 15% in its energy mix by 2030. In this context, the contribution of unconventional hydrocarbons is crucial to achieving this goal. Coal Bed Methane (CBM): India has established CBM in-place with commercially producing deposits. The development of these resources can substantially augment domestic gas supplies. Sl.
