Annual CO2 combustion emissions at operating coal mines (Mt CO2)

CO2 emissions from operating coal mining (Mt CO2eq) is generated from the Global Coal Mine Tracker (GCMT). The GCMT provides information on the world’s major coal mines: every operating mine producing 3 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) or greater, and every proposed mine with a capacity of 1 mtpa or greater. The map and underlying data are updated bi-annually, in January and July. With each update, coverage is expanded to include smaller mines. By January 2022, GCMT will have cataloged every coal mine producing 1 mtpa or greater. Each mine included in the tracker is linked to a wiki page on GEM.wiki, which provides additional details. GCMT was accessed in July 2021 to generate this data.
