To improve coordinated ecological and economic development in coal mining, this paper built a dynamic multi-objective mixed 0–1 model based on ecological coal mining, in which coal production adjustment, ER and EC technological investment were systematically integrated using continuous and 0–1 variables, with the ER and EC …
Retiring coal power plants can reduce air pollution and health damages. However, the spatial distribution of those impacts remains unclear due to complex power system operations and pollution chemistry and transport. Focusing on coal retirements in Pennsylvania (PA), we analyze six counterfactual scenarios for 2019 that differ in …
Among the 586 major coal-mine accidents in China from 2000 to 2022, as shown in Fig. 1 (b), gas-explosion accidents have been identified as the most devastating and dangerous incidents to affect the country's coal-mine production safety. These accidents account for 52% of the total number of incidents, with a staggering 4 gas …

Here we look at the sources of coal mine methane emissions, the potential and costs of abatement measures, and – drawing on the IEA's new Regulatory Roadmap and Toolkit for coal mine methane – the policy, regulation and co-operation that can help drive …
It's difficult to overstate the devastating impact that coal has on our world. Our reliance on coal for electricity has driven our climate system close to a catastrophic tipping point and has begun changing the very chemical makeup of our oceans. Thousands of miners across the globe face sickening and dangerous work conditions, and in
The report offers pragmatic strategies for policymakers to transition away from unabated coal power while maintaining energy security, affordability, and …
Planning for alternative regional economic futures to substitute for coal requires a clearer understanding of the upstream and downstream links of coal mining …
For example, removing the worst-performing quartile of production would remove around 25 Mt of methane while removing the best performing quartile would only remove about 4 Mt. While reducing coal use would go a long way towards reducing emissions, policies and measures are still needed in the meantime to address methane leaks from coal operations.
Over 90% of planned and over 70% of existing coal-fired capacity is in China, India and about 20 other developing countries. China, the largest user and biggest builder of coal-fired electricity, is planning …
review of literature on coal transition data, just transition definitions, applications, and policies. We analyzed coal production, consumption, employment, and productivity …
• Mines in NSW: 0.045* Annual Coal production • Mines in QLD: 0.017* Annual coal production • For Underground mines: Direct measurement ... from UG Coal mines. Strategies to Reduce GHG Emissions from Coal Mines. Coal mine fugitive emissions intensity- by National Greenhouse Accounts. From the above figure, for example:
Mining of coal around the world is being continued to meet the ever-growing energy demand. Mining involves extensive clearing of ground cover, change in physiography, generation of massive solid and liquid wastes to reach coal and thereby alters ecology and environment of the mining site as well as the neighboring areas. …
In addition, local coal production was also increased in China to meet the growth as increased imports only satisfied 15 % of the coal consumption growth. ... relationships between various socio-economic factors and the energy sector must be taken into account when devising coal policies and strategies. Third, long-term factors …
China is a coal-rich country and produces 50% of the global total coal production. Coal is the source of 51.8% of total energy consumption and, therefore, the most critical and crucial driver of China's economic development. The number of coal-fired power plants has increased rapidly in China in recent years to support economic growth, …
In the 13 th 5-year plan of coal industry development, the goals have been set, coal production will be more intensive through obsoleting the backward production capacity by 0.8 billion ton per year, the amount of coal mine will be about 6000, and the production of the large coal mine (1.2 million tonnes/year) will account for more than …
Green investment and technological progress can help to check the rebound in coal use and accelerate a transition to cleaner energy sources as economic activity normalizes. And well-designed policies can …
Despite growing attention on clean energy, fossil fuels still account for 80 percent of global energy consumption and 75 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. Our fossil fuel-based energy system comes at a massive cost. Fossil fuels drive economic vulnerability, where countries and businesses are subject to volatile fuel prices; many …
Coal's primacy in climate negotiations is partly because of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which has devised pathways to halting warming at 1.5°C. These scientific assessments prioritise the rapid phasing out of coal burning not only for the fuel's carbon intensity and the need to head off CO₂ …
This special edition of Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change explores the opportunities and challenges of underground coal gasification (UCG). Coal is the most abundant and widespread fossil energy source in the world. Global coal reserves (British Petroleum 2015) are around 18.1 zetta joules (ZJ), while crude oil …
China is an extremely large coal producer (3695 Mt/2015) and consumer (3698 Mt/2015), and Shanxi Province (i.e., a major coal-producing province in China) is a crucial element in China's energy conservation and emission reduction goals. ... so as to propose a targeted clean production strategy, which was the objective of the present …
Worldwide coal production and consumption from 1990 to 2015. Reproduced from International Energy Agency (IEA), 2016. International Energy Outlook 2016. ...

2.1. Underground CO₂ geo-storage. In the typical CO 2 geo-storage process, CO₂ emissions from fixed sources such as power plants are captured and converted into a liquid form and then injected deep within a closed geological formation, such as a saline aquifer, a depleted oil or gas field, or an inaccessible coal bed (Cheng et al., 2023a; Nicol et al., …
Following the strikes, hard coal production and employment continued to decline substantially (see also Fig. 1), while overall coal consumption declined more slowly (Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, 2020a). An accelerated coal phase-out process, steered by the government, started much later.
Abstract Coal is expected to remain a significant power supply source worldwide and shifting to carbon-neutral fuels will be challenging because of growing electricity demand and booming industrialization. At the same time, coal consumption results in severe air pollution and health concerns. Improvement in emission control …
