Reducing Methane Emissions from Abandoned Coal Mines

November 1, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 6:15 pm

Free

As both the United States and China are transitioning from coal, a large number of coal mines are being left abandoned. These abandoned mines are a significant source of methane – a potent greenhouse gas. Although reducing methane emissions from abandoned coal mines presents difficulties, the benefits of addressing this issue are significant: slowing near-term climate change, diversifying energy sources, revitalizing the local economy, as well as alleviating health and environmental hazards.

Since the U.S. and China have different policies and technological approaches, each can share lessons learned with one another. Join to hear from issue experts on these topics, including on a new California-China Climate Institute report focusing on lessons learned from the U.S.
