本课程由美国环保局与联合国欧洲经济委员会（UNECE）联合制定，以支持GMI倡议下中国国际卓越煤矿瓦斯治理中心的培训工作，课程中文翻译由中国煤炭信息研究院（CCII）提供。
课程介绍了煤矿瓦斯（CMM）捕集和/或利用项目开发潜力的评估原则。其中介绍的一般方法应以具体矿山的数据和分析作为基础，并根据实际情况调整，以促成项目的开发和实施。
CMM项目开发人员、第三方、矿业公司和政府官员都将从培训中受益。课程共包括8个独立单元。
GMI led the development of this resource on monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of methane emissions from coal mining. The report, Best Practice Guidance for Effective Management of Coal Mine Methane at National Level: Monitoring, Reporting, Verification and Mitigation, was published jointed with the UNECE Group of Experts on Coal Mine Methane and Just Transition. The document aims to assist countries with designing national systems to quantify and report methane emissions from coal mines. National MRV programs have the potential to not only help countries better understand their emissions from coal mining, but also to identify opportunities for mitigation. In particular, MRV can help assess and track the effectiveness of adopted climate policies.
