An Analysis of Factors Influencing the Development of Chinese Coalbed Methane Industry

On the basis of the Delphi method, the indicators / variables that impacted system, were inquired and analyzed by using principal component analyses and factor analysis techniques; the factor equations were exploring utilized: comprehensive latent factors was acquired by solving overdetermined equations, thereby, the sequencing of all the variables affecting the system could be realized, finally the purpose of "seizing the key variables" to find countermeasures was achieved.
