Global Methane Initiative
The Clobal Methane Initiative (CMI) is an international publ ic-private partnership focused on
reducing barriers to the recovery and use of methane as a clean energy source. CM l's 45 Partner
Countries and more than 700 Project Network members exchange information and technical
resources to advance methane mitigation in three key sectors: Oil and Cas, Biogas.
and Coal Mines. Learn more about the CML

FEATURED RESOURCES GMI ACTIVITIES EXPLORE•
The GMJ Coal Subcommittee focuses on supporting the identification and deployment of
practical and cost-effective methane m it igation technologies and practices to reduce or
eliminate emissions from coal m ines. This is achieved by encouraging col laboration among
Partner Countries , Subcommittee members. and Project Network members to build capadty,
develop strategies and markets. and remove technical and non-technical barriers to methane
m itigalion project development. Ultimately. such collaboration can increase environmental
qual ity, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen the economy via the additional methane brought to market.

China International Centre of Excellence on Coal Mine Methane ■ China has been the world 's largest coal producer for the past three decades and is the world's leac!'ing contributor of
coal mine methane (CMMJ emissions, expected to become roughly 51% of the global otal in 20201. In 2017, demand
for coal in C hina reached 2,752 m illion tonnes of carbon eq uivalent2 (Mtce) and its mines captured 12.8 b ill ion cubic
meters (Bern) of CMM3• China's amb· ·ous goals include low ering it s carbon intensity ot GOP by 60%-65% below 2005
levels by 2030. Increased recovery and use of CM M will help China achieve these argets, and will also improve mine
safety.
r ~ To h p lead these efforts, the lnterna ·onal Centre o Ex~lence on Coal Mine M ethane
l a W!o'!!!!:1!,'!'o~~ (ICE-C MM) in China was launched in September 2017. Located in Taiyuan City, Shanxi
Province and hosted by o e of China's largest coal producers, Shanxi Coking Coal
Group Ltd (SCCG), the Cen re is situated in one o · China's principal coal m ining reg ions. Launching the ICE-CMM is an
important s:ep in he China's transition to a more sustainable energy Mure.
The main function of the Centre is to serve as a regional and international center for best practices in gas capture and
utilization . Its objectives ind ude increasing clean p ower genera ·on , reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and improving
