Proposed coal mining GHG emissions (Mt CO2eq) - Methane
Methane emissions from proposed coal mining (Mt CO2eq) is generated from the Global Coal Mine Tracker (GCMT). The GCMT provides information on the world’s major coal mines: every operating mine producing 3 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) or greater, and every proposed mine with a capacity of 1 mtpa or greater. The map and underlying data are updated bi-annually, in January and July. With each update, coverage is expanded to include smaller mines. By January 2022, GCMT will have cataloged every coal mine producing 1 mtpa or greater. Each mine included in the tracker is linked to a wiki page on GEM.wiki, which provides additional details. GCMT was accessed in July 2021 to generate this data.
