Проведение предварительных технико-экономических оценок для проектов по метану угольных шахт

В данном курсе представлены принципы оценки потенциала разрабатываемых проектов по каптированию и/или использованию метана угольных шахт (МУШ). Представленный общий подход должен быть подкреплен данными и анализами по конкретным шахтам, что позволит адаптировать принципы к уникальным условиям на каждой шахте. В идеале, такая оценка приведет к фактической разработке и реализации проекта.

The U.S. EPA is developing this training course in support of the GMI and in conjunction with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). This course introduces principles for assessing the potential of developing projects to capture and/or use Coal Mine Methane (CMM). The introduced general approach should be underpinned by mine-specific data and analyses, allowing the principles to be tailored to the unique conditions at each mine. Ideally, such an assessment will lead to project development and implementation.

CMM project developers, third parties, mining company personnel and government officials can all benefit from this training. The course is divided into eight separate modules:

• Module 1: Introduction and Objectives
• Module 2: Mine Background Information and Evaluation
• Module 3: Resource Assessment
• Module 4: Forecasting Methane Production from Gas Drainage Systems
• Module 5: Improvements to Gas Drainage
• Module 6: Quantifying the Benefits of Improvements to Methane Drainage Systems
• Module 7: Market, Risk, and Financial Analyses
• Module 8: Case Study – Liulong Mine, China

The training slides and a text version are provided below for each module.

This database provides basic descriptions of several key technologies applicable to coal mine methane recovery and utilization, including each technology’s current status and commercial availability. It is intended to be a living document, which will be periodically updated to remain current. The database is an updated and revised version of the original database compiled by Australia’s Department of Industry, Tourism and Resources, on behalf of the Global Methane Initiative.

This document presents case studies on the ownership and legal status of coal mines and incentives and policies to increase the capture and utilize methane from coal mines.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in support of GMI, collaborated with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe to develop a tool to gather information and estimate annual methane emissions from underground coal mines. The Excel-based template simplifies collection of measurement data and provides equations that calculate total annual emissions for a single facility (i.e., underground coal mine). This template is intended to help companies better understand emissions from individual coal mines to identify mitigation options. It can also help governments refine their national-level emissions reporting to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), i.e., by providing a mechanism to support a Tier 3 approach for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. The template can be modified as appropriate; for example, changing from monthly data collection to a different frequency. It provides space to record additional information, such as from remote sensing campaigns.

May 2025: Version 1.2 updated instructions and column headings for clarity. Specifically, the edits clarified instructions for tabs 3 and 4 to state that methane calculated is liberated (rather than emitted) through the mine’s ventilation and degasification systems. The resulting methane liberated values are then used in the cumulative mass balance equation (equation 7) on tab 8 to calculate total methane emitted by the facility. Additionally, some column headings in tabs 6, 7, and 8 were changed to indicate that methane utilized on site should be included in the appropriate tables along with methane destroyed. Finally, an entry for pump stations was added to the drop-down list of utilization methods in A3 of tab 6.

This Excel document provides comprehensive information on approximately 500 coal mine methane recovery and utilization projects at coal mines worldwide, including projects that are operating, in development, or planned.

The fourth edition of the Coal Mine Methane Country Profiles (formerly the Coal Mine Methane Global Overview) was published in June 2015. It contains individual, comprehensive profiles that characterize the coal and coal mine methane sectors of 37 countries—29 Global Methane Initiative partners and an additional eight coal-producing nations. The Executive Summary provides summary tables that include statistics on coal reserves, coal production, methane emissions, and CMM project activity.

This document summarizes feedback that was obtained during the brainstorming session held at the 32nd GMI Coal Mines Subcommittee meeting on 22 March 2023. Participants consisted of GMI Delegates, GMI Project Network members, and United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Group of Experts on CMM. The brainstorming session aimed to identify approaches and solutions to the three CMM project barriers that were ranked as being the most relevant.

This document provides a list of concrete ideas for actions that could scale up projects on the capture and use of methane at coal mines. The list is based on need statements and ideas proposed during the 21-22 March 2023 GMI Coal Mines Subcommittee meeting, held in partnership with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). Nearly 50 representatives from 15 countries attended the Subcommittee meeting, including policymakers, technology providers, coal mining industry, academia, international non-government organizations, and environmental think tanks. Participants brainstormed potential solutions (notes available here) to top barriers to mitigating coal mine methane, identified at a prior meeting on September 27, 2022 (notes available here). The Coal Mines Subcommittee subsequently reviewed the list of ideas to prioritize actions GMI could focus on to most effectively address barriers in the coal sector.
