Towards Monitoring Coal Mine Methane Emissions using
Methane CH 4 is the second most important greenhouse gas after CO 2 . Methane trapped in coal reservoirs is either extracted as coal mine methane CMM or vented as ventilation air methane as it presents a safety hazard. The EDGAR v4.3.2 emission inventory estimates fugitive emissions of CMM to be about 13 of the global anthropogenic methane budget.
