Emissions from Coal Mining in Mongolia

Coal mine methane infrastructure in Mongolia

Mongolia's emissions from coal mining in 2020 are estimated to be 0.3850 MMTCO2e and are projected to be the same in 2050 (Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gas Tool). An overview of Mongolia's coal mining history and current methane recovery and use efforts can be found in Global Methane Initiative Coal Mine Methane Country Profile: Mongolia (2016) (pdf) (1,644 KB).
