Only 10% of global hard coal production has ever had a methane plume attributed to it. Japan’s 2nd-largest coal supplier, Indonesia, has almost none. Without clear disclosure, Japan’s steelmakers could miss the full extent of methane their coal carries. ember-energy.org/lat...
Coal mine methane is increasingly measurable via satellite – but measurement is not governance.

#MethaneMonday | Indonesia is Japan's second-largest coal supplier after Australia, with exports rising from 22.6 Mt in 2021 to over 27 Mt in 2025. But this carries a hidden cost that Japanese coal and steel operators have yet to price in: coal mine #methane emissions 🇮🇩🇯🇵 🏭 🧵👇

Japan’s steel sector sources coal from methane-emitting mines, but does not count the emissions. For Nippon Steel, counting upstream coal methane could add 46% to its Category 1 and 3 emissions on a 100-year basis, and double them over 20 years 📈 ember-energy.org/lat...
