Just over 40 Mt of CMM were released to the atmosphere in 2022, representing more than 10% of total methane emissions from human activity. Steam coal and lignite accounted for around 75% of CMM emissions and coking coal for the remaining 25%. Underground mines were responsible for around 70% of emissions and surface mines for the remainder.
