How does CMOP work to reduce methane emissions?
CMOP is engaged in numerous domestic and international outreach efforts. In the U.S., CMOP works cooperatively with the coal mining industry to support project development, overcome institutional, technical, regulatory, and financial barriers to implementation, and communicate the benefits of CMM recovery. Specific activities include: • Identifying, evaluating, and promoting methane reduction options, including technological innovations and markets mechanisms to encourage project implementation • Conducting workshops to educate the mining industry and the broader community on the environmental, mine safety, and economic benefits of methane recovery • Preparing and disseminating reports and other materials that address topics ranging from technical and economic analyses to overviews of legal issues • Interfacing with all facets of the mining industry to advance project development • Conducting feasibility and prefeasibility studies for U.S.
