Opis

Global fugitive methane emissions from coal sector accounts for 8 % annually of global methane emissions from human activities, representing the loss of a valuable energy resource. Coal mine methane recovery and use represents a cost-effective means of significantly reducing methane emissions from coal mining, while increasing mine safety and improving mine economics. The worlds ten largest coal producers, including Poland, are responsible for 90% of global methane emissions. Polands methane emissions from coal mining contribute a large percent to the global as well as countrys total greenhouse gas emissions.
