Ukraine ranks 14^th in global coal production – nearly 65 million metric tons (Mmt) in 2012 – and 4^th in coal mine methane (CMM) emissions, which are projected to exceed 36 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO₂E) by 2020. An overview of Ukraine’s coal mining history and current methane recovery and use efforts can be found in the Global Methane Initiative Coal Mine Methane Country Profile: Ukraine (June 2015) (PDF) (14 pp, 1 MB) Exit.
