The GMI Oil & Gas Subcommittee virtual meeting was held on Thursday, 24 June 2021.

The meeting featured a review of GMI activities and accomplishments, including the recent rechartering of GMI through 2031, and an interactive discussion to identify priorities of the Oil & Gas Subcommittee to aid the development of the Subcommittee Action Plan 2021-2024.

A Call to Action on Methane: an international dialogue hosted by the Global Methane Initiative (GMI) was held on Thursday, 3 June 2021.

This event aimed to raise international awareness of the critical need to reduce methane emissions, emphasize opportunities for international leaders in industry, private sector, and government to take action to reduce methane, and celebrate the recharter of the Global Methane Initiative for another 10 years.

Distinguished members of the methane mitigation community presented keynote addresses and participated in discussions regarding methane mitigation policies, global trends in the energy sector, and opportunities for action on methane. The agenda and information about the speakers are available on the event website.

The principles outlined in the best practices document are intended to provide guidance to complement existing legal and regulatory frameworks. The objective of the document is to encourage the development of post-mining projects to reduce the overall emissions attributable to the coal mining life cycle by optimizing recovery and use of methane that would otherwise be released to the atmosphere. The best practices guidance is available in English, Chinese, Spanish, and Russian.

GMI provided technical and financial support in developing this updated version of the Best Practice Guidance for Effective Methane Drainage and Use in Coal Mines. This document provides accessible, high-level guidance for senior corporate, government, and financial decision-makers – all of whom play an integral role in decisions to implement best practices. Recommended principles and standards on coal mine methane (CMM) capture and use are explained clearly and succinctly to provide decision-makers with a solid base of understanding from which to direct policy and commercial decisions. Such knowledge is critical to minimize risks and the environmental impact of CMM emissions.

The principles outlined in this document are intended to provide guidance to complement existing legal and regulatory frameworks and to support the development of safer and more effective practices where industry practice and regulation continue to evolve. Although intended to support performance- and principles-based regulatory programs, the Best Practices Guidance can also complement more prescriptive regulation and can support a transition to performance-based regulation.

This Best Practices Guidance is available for download in English, Chinese, French, Spanish, and Russian.
