Abstract:

In view of the threats to the personal safety, increasing in coal-mining cost and harm to our environment caused by coal mine gas,redesigning the controlling and utilization measurements for coal mine gas on the path to realize carbon peaking and carbon neutrality can boost the production safely and efficiently and advance the transformation of coal industry.Base on literature research and cases study,the current measurements were found to include pre-drainage in planning areas,mechanical ventilation and gas drainage for the working face in production areas and mechanical extraction in the goaf.There are no general standard for the evaluation of the control effects or a unified development plan for coal mine gas.Coal mining enterprises lack the motivation for low-carbon control of coal mine gas,since their understanding on the comprehensive benefits brought by enhancing coal mine gas controlling is insufficient and their treatment technologies are underdeveloped.This situation is inconsistent with the requirements of the national strategic goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.It is suggested that the coal mining enterprises should deploy a coal mine gas control and utilization strategy which conforms to the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality,construct a digital information platform for coal mine gas control and utilization,implement technological innovation and talent introduction strategies, and design the purification and utilization process for the extracted methane in advanced,so as to formulate a new methane control mode including carbon emission reduction from the source,process control,divisional implement,terminal control and market development.

Key words: carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, coal mine, methane controlling, evaluation standard, carbon emission reduction
