China’s frenzy of coal mines creates new sources of emissions

As many as 169 new coal mines in China could add around 10 per cent to the nation's mining capacity in coming years, rather than reducing the fossil fuel as Beijing has promised, according to Global Energy Monitor (GEM).

As many as 169 new coal mines in China could add around 10 per cent to the nation's mining capacity in coming years, rather than reducing the fossil fuel as Beijing has promised, according to Global Energy Monitor (GEM). A boom in new coal mines and mine expansions commissioned in China since mid-2021 threatens to raise global methane emissions by 10 per cent, said GEM in its report. This explosion is at odds with pledges by China to reduce methane emissions over the rest of the decade.
