Abstract
British Coal measure their methane emissions at 0.8 ± 0.2 million tonnes from UK coal mining in 1987. However, this figure cannot be verified until British Coal releases relevant data. Recently, the US Environmental Protection Agency has endorsed the use of an emission equation as a means of calculating methane emissions from coal mining. Methane emissions from coal mining rise to 1.19 – 2.21 Mt when this equation is applied to the UK. Both these estimates represent a lost resource and a major global warming effect due to methane's potency as a greenhouse gas.
