A new report by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) highlights that while India’s coking coal mines emit substantial amounts of methane, 87% of these emissions can be successfully mitigated at a low cost.
A recent report released by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) reveals that India's coking coal mining sector contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions through high methane output. However, the report outlines a highly positive outlook, suggesting that 87% of these methane emissions can be mitigated using affordable, low-cost technologies.
According to the IEEFA study, implementing modern methane capture and utilization technologies could help India align with its climate goals without putting excessive financial strain on mining companies. Given that coking coal is vital for India’s steel sector, addressing these emissions is crucial for a cleaner industrial supply chain.
