Indonesia produces 58 million tons of CO2e20 methane gas from coal mines annually. 31%, or 17.7 million tons of CO2e20, originates from Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC) mines, a subsidiary of Bumi Resources Tbk owned by the Bakrie Group.

This figure makes KPC coal mines the largest methane producer outside of China's mines.

Methane emissions from the LW Bogdanka mine in Poland are recorded at 13 million tons of CO2e20. The Yalevsky mine in Russia is the third largest, with emissions of 10.4 million tons of CO2e20.

On a global scale, coal mines in China dominate the list of the world's largest methane producers. At least five mines in China produce more than 20 million tons of CO2e20 methane annually.

Besides carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) is also a greenhouse gas contributing to the climate crisis. Methane is proven to be 25 times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than CO2.

China produces the largest amount of methane, with 3.18 billion tons of CO2e20 annually. This emission is far greater than the United States, which ranks second with emissions of 240 million tons of CO2e20.
