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
8 June 2026 – 6th June was the European Union’s #FossilDependenceDay: the day of the year from which the region effectively relies on imported fossil fuels for its energy. Between 2019 and 2024, growth in solar and wind avoided €59 billion in fossil fuel imports for power generation. Further strengthening this homegrown clean power, combined with electrification, could halve the EU’s fossil dependence by 2040.

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.
