A new report by Ember projects that India's coal mine methane emissions could more than double by 2029, reaching over 1.6 million tonnes annually, primarily due to planned expansions in domestic coal mining to meet growing energy demands. This increase poses significant climate risks, as methane is far more effective than CO2 at trapping heat in the short term. However, the report highlights an opportunity for India to implement methane mitigation strategies that could reduce emissions by up to 35% annually by 2030, potentially saving nearly $980 million by offsetting imported gas. Telangana is also taking proactive steps toward sustainability, aiming for net zero by 2047, with new industrial parks designed to use cleaner energy sources instead of coal. The analysis emphasizes the need for robust national policies to manage emissions and capitalize on the economic benefits of capturing methane. Addressing these emissions is critical not just for climate goals, but also for reducing reliance on imported energy sources.
