Banks suggests that reconciling those rights agreements could lead to a shift in the way coal mining companies view methane gas, treating it as a potential source of revenue rather than a fugitive gas to be dealt with as a safety or environmental concern.

Perhaps someone with a better background on geology could explain why there's so much more methane extracted per unit of coal resource in coalbed methane than is vented in regular coal mining.

Trillions of cubic feet of coalbed methane are pumped in the US each year from an industry that is much smaller than coal mining.

This peer - reviewed study by a pair of researchers at Rice University in Houston shows that while fracking - produced water shouldn't be allowed near drinking water, it's less toxic than similar waste from coal - bed methane mining.

Trillions of cubic feet of coalbed methane are pumped in the US each year from an industry that is much smaller than coal mining.

Another remnant of Germany's coal mining past is invisible: coal mine methane, which can build - up inside the mining shafts for decades after their closure.Not only does methane pose an explosion hazard, it is also a very potent greenhouse gas, being about 20 times more effective in trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide.

Included in life cycle carbon are substantial methane leaks from natural gas production and pipelines, the energy for drilling, mining, transport, refining, and disposal that are much more significant for fossil fuels and nuclear energy than for renewables.

Methane, which comes from the stomachs of cattle and sheep, from thawing tundra, from food rotting in landfill and from drilling for oil and mining, is a greenhouse gas that is much more dangerous than carbon dioxide.

The coal mining process releases methane, which is 87 more potent as a greenhouse gas than CO2 over a 20 year period (4).

Overall, the study found that methane emissions from all U.S. sources — including agriculture, oil and gas development, landfills, and coal mining — are 50 percent greater than estimates from the EPA Inventory, which recently lowered its estimate of methane emissions from oil and gas systems.
