In The Dark: underreporting of coal mine methane is a major climate risk

As emissões de metano da mina de carvão são Frutas de baixa alavanca || eles. Se a meta de redução proposta for atingida, poderá eliminar o aquecimento in tackling climate change, but the poor level of monitoring and reporting leaves governments blind to the scale of their emissions, and the opportunities to mitigate them.

150 countries have now signed up to the Global Methane Pledge, committing to a 30% collective reduction in methane. If the reduction goal proposed is reached, it could eliminate over 0,2C em 2050. Enquanto o mundo viu um impulso crescente de países em todo o mundo para agir sobre suas emissões de metano, a mineração de carvão continua a emitir metano aparentemente despercebido.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) makes it clear that a 75% reduction of fossil fuel methane by 2030 is required for the world to remain on a pathway aligned with 1.5C. Ember’s three recommendations cover improving monitoring, verification and reporting of CMM emissions to aid governments in understanding the scale of their coal mine methane emissions, and unlocking the potential to destroy or capture and utilise the potent greenhouse gas.
