Best Practice Guidance for Effective Methane Recovery and Use from Abandoned Coal Mines

Format *
Coal production, transportation, storage and use account for roughly 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas with a 100-year global warming potential 25 times that of carbon dioxide (CO2) and a 100-year global temperature potential 6-fold greater than CO2, once released from coal seams in which it is trapped creates number of problems even after cessation of mining activities. Following mine closure, methane emissions decrease, but do not stop completely. This publication presents recommended principles and standards for effective methane recovery and use from abandoned coal mines.
