Inter-Regional Coal Methane Emission Reduction Dialogue

On June 9, the Inter-Regional Coal Methane Emission Reduction Dialogue, organized by the Shanxi Coshare Innovation Institute of Energy & Environment and iGDP, was successfully held in Taiyuan. The dialogue convened over 20 experts and enterprise representatives to deliberate on the scientific reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the efficient utilization of coal methane as a clean energy source. The aim was to promote technology implementation, policy coordination, and cross-regional experience sharing, contributing to the green transformation of the national coal industry with the “Shanxi Solution.” Experts analyzed Shanxi’s emission characteristics, the status, and the challenges associated with the implementation of low-concentration gas utilization technologies (e.g., porous combustion for heat production, thermal storage, and oxidation). They also interpreted national and local emission reduction policies, CCER methodology, and the development of a monitoring standard system. Key recommendations were given on technological innovation, business models, policy incentives (such as financial subsidies and land use guarantees), regulatory improvements, and a fair market environment.
