Turkey ranks 12^th in global coal production – nearly 70 million metric tons (Mmt) in 2012 – and 19^th in coal mine methane (CMM) emissions, which are projected to exceed 2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO₂E) by 2020. An overview of Turkey’s coal mining history and current methane recovery and use efforts can be found in the Global Methane Initiative Coal Mine Methane Country Profile: Turkey (June 2015) (PDF) (6 pp, 962K) Exit
