Coal mine methane management

摘要

Green Gas International (Green Gas) is a prominent international project developer engaged in coal mine methane (CMM) mitigation. Founded soon after the Kyoto Protocol and the associated carbon credit trading scheme came into effect in 2005, the company has since developed rapidly. Its work covers the entire gas mitigation value chain, from enhancing coal mine safety and productivity, to the acquisition of carbon credits. Demand for the company's services is strong, in part due to a renewed interest in coal as an important energy source. One of the main constraints to increasing coal mine productivity and development remains CMM. Reflecting this, the key to increased coal output and productivity often lies in the gas drainage system that a mine employs.
