SOON | Regenerative thermal oxidisers (RTO) convert #methane ➡️ into CO2, water vapour and heat
#MitigatingVAM using RTOs costs just $20 per tonne of CO2e – SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER than carbon capture and storage, costing $100–$200 per tonne of CO2e 💰

An underground coal mine ventilation shaft could release an estimated 50,000 tonnes of methane emissions per year, equivalent to the CO2 emissions of 2 million cars.
But a proven technology for #MitigatingVAM exists today…

Methane is OVER 80 TIMES more harmful to the climate than CO2 and coal mines emit more methane than the gas industry. A majority of coal mine methane is emitted from ventilation shafts.
Why does this matter and what can be done? 🧵

While forest credits struggle, high-integrity coal mine methane abatement is being ignored due to optics.
Avoiding these projects doesn't clean the mines. Methane — 82 times more potent than CO₂

India’s expanding underground coal mining could continue increasing methane emissions.
But cost-effective technologies for #MitigatingVAM exists and can reduce India’s methane footprint from increased coal activity.

Just NINE countries account for nearly all of the world’s coal mine methane emissions in 2024.
Countries with underground mines can cut these emissions by converting methane into water vapour and CO2.

India could progressively reduce coal mine methane (CMM) emissions by up to 35% annually by 2030, cutting over 1.6 million tonnes of methane.
Technologies like regenerative thermal oxidisers (RTO) can be used to mitigate CMM.

New South Wales accounts for 38% of Australia’s coal mine methane emissions. But satellite analysis estimates that actual emissions could be DOUBLE that.
Reducing data discrepancies ensures the right methane mitigation is adopted.

In its first 20 years, methane’s warming impact is 80 times that of CO2 – and coal mines are responsible for a third of methane emissions from the energy sector 🌏🌡️
Today we can already tackle this source of emissions by #MitigatingVAM
