Share of countries coal mined in underground coal mines

Approximate share of country's total coal production (%)

Emissions from underground mines are monitored and measured better than open cut/surface coal mines. Underground coal mines tend to measure their methane emissions whilst open cut/surface coal mines use emissions factors.
