Global Coal Mine Methane Review 2026
Countries’ reported coal mine methane inventories capture only a fraction of actual emissions. Yet affordable mitigation measures exist and could significantly reduce these emissions this decade.

Graphic of the week
13 July 2026 – Electricity market prices in Spain remain among Europe’s lowest despite elevated gas prices since March 2026. Strong growth in renewables across the Iberian power system has significantly weakened the link between gas and electricity prices since the gas crisis of 2021–2024. Through the first half of 2021, both European gas prices and Spanish electricity prices climbed by around 50%. In contrast, in 2026, prices in the Iberian electricity market have remained largely unaffected by higher gas prices. This has helped to shield Spanish electricity prices from the gas price spike following the US-Israel war with Iran.

Focus Areas
Major levers that will transform the energy system
Scaling clean electricity
Rapid growth of clean electricity led by cheap solar and wind is replacing fossil fuels in the power sector, and beyond through electrification.
Cutting coal mine methane
Coal mines emit more methane than the gas industry, yet this pollution is often overlooked. Half of methane emissions from coal mines can be captured with proven, cost-effective technologies.
