Excellent- More about Best Practice Guidance for Effective Management of Coal Mine Methane at National Level: Monitoring, Reporting, Verification and Mitigation
Methane is a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, and coal mining is a significant source of methane emissions. National monitoring, reporting, and verification programs can help countries understand the contribution of coal mining to their emissions and identify opportunities for mitigation.

Methane (CH4) stands as the second most prevalent anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) after carbon dioxide (CO2), with its Global Warming Potential (GWP) being significantly higher. Coal mining emerges as a significant contributor to methane emissions, accounting for approximately 12% of the global total. While most emissions originate from underground working mines, the concern is growing regarding those from abandoned mines. To address methane effectively, a comprehensive understanding of emission sources at national, subnational, and local levels is crucial. Reliable emissions data are essential for policymakers to design effective GHG policies, evaluate mitigation opportunities, and fulfill their international climate commitments. National monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) programs play a pivotal role in this endeavor. They enable countries to gain a deeper understanding of the contribution of coal mining to their overall methane and GHG emissions, while also identifying potential areas for mitigation. In particular, MRV can assist in assessing and tracking the effectiveness of adopted climate policies. Furthermore, establishing efficient MRV schemes is vital to ensure the fulfillment of international climate commitments within the framework of the Paris Agreement. By implementing robust MRV systems, countries can effectively monitor, report, and verify their greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to the global effort to combat climate change and achieve a sustainable future.
