technologies for reducing greenhouse gas (methane) emissions, coal mining industry, coal mine methane, expert assessmentAbstract
The paper describes greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement technologies available to coal mining companies. As part of the work, we present the results of the expert assessment of the criteria for selecting technologies for reducing greenhouse gas (methane) emissions to be implemented at coal mines. The expert assessment was carried out, based on the opinions of a group of experts which included senior officials of coal mining and project enterprises, employees of specialized analytical centers and scientific and industrial associations, and teachers of specialized departments of universities. The purpose of the work is to evaluate the criteria of greenhouse gas emission reduction technologies typical of coal mining enterprises using the method of comparative analysis. The aim of the study is to conduct a comparative analysis and to identify criteria that should be taken into account when choosing a technology for reducing greenhouse gas emissions (methane) from coal mines. As a result of the study, conclusions have been drawn about the criteria which are most relevant for the above purpose. The expert evaluation of the criteria will allow to make an informed decision on the selection of the technology in the process of managing GHG emissions from coal mines.
