The objective of the project is to disseminate among policymakers, state-owned mine operators, and coal mine workers, best practices in designing and implementing effective policies for monitoring, reporting, abatement, recovery, and use of methane emissions through targeted capacity-building and training activities. The UNECE Group of Experts on Coal Mine Methane and Just Transition (GoE-CMMJT) and the International Centres of Excellence on Coal Mine Methane (ICE-CMMs) operating under the auspices of the Group will work to develop and organize a series of activities and deliverables to further coal mine methane abatement in selected coal mining regions, through the introduction of international best practices, applicable policies, technologies, and mechanisms for monitoring, reporting, verification (MRV), and mitigation of CMM emissions. The project will also strengthen the institutional capacity of the ICE-CMMs, improve their capacity to deliver CMM monitoring and abatement trainings in support of the mandated activities of the Group of Experts, and further build an international coalition of stakeholders working on promoting effective CMM methane mitigation practices and policies.
