Rising Coal Production, Falling Emissions
Australia's reported fugitive emissions from coal mining have decreased by over 20% since 2005, despite raw coal production increasing by 170% between 1990 and 2022. While some reductions are attributed to mitigation investments, such as VAM-to-power projects and pre-mine drainage, the report argues that the trend is largely driven by a shift toward open-cut mining, the closure of high-emitting underground mines, and changes in emissions accounting methods.
