Since 60% of this coal gas has a concentration of 3-8% methane, it makes these sort of initiatives profitable.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The challenge is to deal with the remaining 40% of low methane concentration coal gas,&#8221; said Yang Fuqiang, a senior researcher at Climate Change and Energy Transition Programme at Peking University in Beijing.<\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s energy sector, driven by its coal operations, accounted for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/reports\/global-methane-tracker-2022\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a fifth of total methane emissions from the global energy sector last year<\/a> \u2013 making it, by far, the largest methane emitter.<\/p>\n<p>The government has introduced strong policies to prevent the direct release of methane into the atmosphere. But it is struggling to motivate coal mining giants to initiate methane mitigation projects.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><label for=\"mce-EMAIL\">Want climate news in your inbox?

The government further introduced incentives for methane recovery.<\/p>\n<p>But industry insiders say that a lack of monitoring of methane emissions coupled with the high cost of capture technologies deter the development of more methane-cutting projects.<\/p>\n<p>Detecting methane emissions requires tracking on the ground and from the sky using drones, planes and satellites. These monitoring systems alone are costly and need huge investment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The data uncertainty of methane emissions is a long-existing problem,&#8221; said Ran Ze, senior manager at Environmental Defense Fund, China (EDF). &#8220;It&#8217;s crucial to enhance monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) to detect the exact status of methane emissions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2022\/04\/05\/global-hub-launched-to-help-countries-slash-methane-emissions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Global hub<\/strong> launched to help countries slash methane emissions<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2021\/11\/10\/china-us-announce-deal-cop26-accelerate-climate-action-decade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">US-China joint declaration<\/a> announced at Cop26 in Glasgow, UK and China&#8217;s pledge to become carbon neutral by 2060 have prompted policymakers to bolster efforts to capture methane and increase its share in the country&#8217;s energy mix.<\/p>\n<p>Cutting methane emissions from the energy sector, which has a warming potential 80 times that of carbon dioxide, is increasingly seen as a quick win. At Cop26, more than 108 countries signed up to reduce its emissions under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2021\/11\/02\/100-countries-join-methane-pledge-china-india-australia-russia-stay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an initiative<\/a> launched jointly by the US and the EU.<\/p>\n<p>China stayed away from the initiative but, in its joint declaration with the US, committed to work towards limiting its methane emissions.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mee.gov.cn\/ywgz\/ydqhbh\/wsqtkz\/201907\/P020190701765971866571.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official data<\/a> from 2014, the country&#8217;s energy sector contributed 24.7 million tonnes or 45% of national methane emissions. Coal mines alone were responsible for around 38% of emissions \u2013 unlike in the US and the EU where a majority of methane emissions come from gas pipelines.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If China wants to tap the potential of methane and curb its emissions, then undoubtedly coal mines are a priority area,&#8221; said Yang.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2022\/04\/21\/migrant-workers-suffer-heat-stress-during-ramadan-in-arabian-gulf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Migrant<\/strong> workers suffer heat stress during Ramadan in Arabian Gulf<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>China is expected to release a national action plan for cutting methane emissions ahead of the Cop27 climate talks in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, in November.<\/p>\n<p>The success of China&#8217;s methane emission reduction policies hinges on a comprehensive approach.<\/p>\n<p>Besides monitoring, coal mining companies will need cost-effective technologies for methane mitigation, according to EDF. There are ways to recover coal mine methane with a concentration as low as 0.5%, but they are expensive.<\/p>\n<p>And with China planning to drastically cut down coal extraction as a part of its pledge to become carbon neutral by 2060, mining companies only have 38 years to recover their cost from investments.<\/p>\n<p>While the government is likely to invest in methane monitoring, reporting and verification, mining companies will face the uphill task of finding low-cost methane mitigation technology.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Methane concentration varies in coal mines here,\u201d said Meian Chen, programme director at innovative Green Development Program, Beijing.\u00a0 \u201cFor this, there will be a need for a tailored approach, using cost-effective technologies and policy support, to capture methane from these mines.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"China has committed to cut methane emissions in a deal with the US but a lack of robust monitoring and
