🛰️ #CMMSpotlight | A methane plume detected over the Elkview coal mine in #Canada highlights the persistent nature of coal mine #methane emissions and the importance of upstream emissions in steel-making supply chains 🇨🇦🔦 This month, Ember’s Yu-Ting Chang looks at the methane plume detected over the Elkview metallurgical coal mine in British Columbia on 11 August 2024. This methane super-emitter event released the equivalent of a single Canadian household’s entire annual emissions over the span of an hour. Every tonne of metallurgical coal carries upstream methane that rarely appears in supply‑chain reporting, even when steelmakers part‑own the mines. Decarbonising the furnace is only half the job, making methane visible is the other half. Learn more about coal mine methane 👇 https://ember-energy.org/CMM Source: Carbon Mapper
