Mexico ranks 25^th in global coal production – nearly 15.2 million metric tons (Mmt) in 2012 – and 21^st in coal mine methane (CMM) emissions, which are projected to reach nearly 2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MMTCO₂E) by 2020. An overview of Mexico's coal mining history and current methane recovery and use efforts can be found in the Global Methane Initiative Coal Mine Methane Country Profile: Mexico (June 2015) (PDF) (13 pp, 1.1 MB) Exit.
