  Coal mining liberates methane gas trapped in coal seams. Waste Coal Mine Gas (WCMG) is a safety hazard and an impediment in underground coal mines. It must be extracted by mine ventilation and coal seam drainage. This extracted methane can be used as a power generation fuel. WCMG has more than 25 times the global warming potential of CO2 in the atmosphere.
