Operational coal mines in China produced around 2.9 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO₂e) per year as of April 2024, when considering their impact over a 20-year timeframe.
Methane emissions from operational coal mines worldwide as of April 2024, by country
(in million metric tons of CO₂ equivalent)
Methane emissions are measured using a 20-year Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 84. Includes operating mines producing 1 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) or more, with smaller mines included at discretion.
