The proven per capital natural gas reserve is only 1/12th of the world average. However, China has large coal bed methane (CBM) resources with development potential which can be recovered from surface boreholes independent of mining and in advance of mining, and also captured as a part of underground coal mining operations. However, in order to meet its targets, the government must improve the administrative framework for CBM resource management, introduce more effective CBM or coal mine methane (CMM) development incentives, raise the technical capacity of the mining sector, expand gas pipeline infrastructure and promote gas markets in coal mining areas. In order to significantly reduce methane emission from coal mines and better exploit the gas recoverable from coal seams, the government should introduce measures to: strengthen the CBM/CMM policy, legal and regulatory framework to improve resource management; improve CMM availability and quality so more can be utilized; enhance incentives to promote expansion of CBM/CMM exploitation and destruction of surplus drained CMM; and Promote development of regional development strategies to take advantage of specific local advantages.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABANDONED MINEACCESS TO ELECTRICITYAIRAIR LEAKAGEAIR POLLUTANTSAIR POLLUTIONAIR QUALITYALLOCATIONANNUAL EMISSIONANTHRACITEANTHRACITE COALANTHRACITE COALSANTHROPOGENIC EMISSIONSAPPROACHATMOSPHEREAUCTIONAVAILABILITYBALANCEBOILERSCARBONCARBON DIOXIDECERTIFIED EMISSION REDUCTIONSCH4CHEMICAL CONVERSIONCLEAN COALCLEAN ENERGYCLEAN ENERGY SUPPLYCLEANER ENERGYCLIMATECLIMATE ANALYSIS INDICATORSCLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE POLICYCOCO2COALCOAL BED METHANECOAL ENERGYCOAL EXTRACTIONCOAL INDUSTRYCOAL MINECOAL MINERSCOAL MINESCOAL MININGCOAL MINING OPERATIONSCOAL OUTPUTCOAL PRODUCERCOAL PRODUCTIONCOAL RESERVESCOAL RESOURCECOAL SEAMCOLORSDNADOMESTIC COALDOMESTIC SUPPLYDOMESTIC USEDRAINAGE SYSTEMSDRILLINGECONOMIC GROWTHEFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTELECTRICITYELECTRICITY CONSUMPTIONEMISSION DATAEMISSION FACTOREMISSION FROM COALEMISSION GROWTHEMISSION PREDICTIONEMISSION REDUCTIONEMISSIONSEMISSIONS FROM COALEMISSIONS OF POLLUTANTSEMISSIONS REDUCTIONEMISSIONS REDUCTION STRATEGYEMISSIONS REDUCTIONSENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY DEMANDENERGY DEVELOPMENTENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY INFORMATION ADMINISTRATIONENERGY INFRASTRUCTUREENERGY MARKETSENERGY NEEDSENERGY PLANNERSENERGY PRODUCTIONENERGY RESEARCHENERGY RESOURCESENERGY SECURITYENERGY SOURCEENERGY SOURCESENERGY USEENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITSENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCEENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCYENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYETHEREXPLOSIVEFEASIBILITYFINANCIAL BARRIERSFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL PERFORMANCEFINANCIAL SUPPORTFISCAL POLICIESFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEFREE TRADEFUELFUEL SWITCHINGGASGAS COMPANIESGAS CONCENTRATIONSGAS CONSUMPTIONGAS DISTRIBUTIONGAS EMISSIONGAS EXTRACTIONGAS INDUSTRIESGAS INDUSTRYGAS MARKETGAS PIPELINESGAS PRICESGAS PRODUCTIONGAS RESERVOIRSGAS RESOURCESGAS SUPPLIESGAS SUPPLYGASESGENERATIONGEOLOGICAL CONDITIONSGHGGHGSGLOBAL ENVIRONMENTGLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMSGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS ABATEMENTGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHARD COALHEATHYDROCARBONSHYDROPOWERIMPORTSINCOMEIPCCLIQUEFIED NATURAL GASLNGMAJOR EMITTERMARGINAL COSTMARKET BARRIERSMETHANOLMINERAL RESOURCESN2ONATIONAL EMISSIONSNATURAL GASNATURAL GAS DEMANDNATURAL GAS INDUSTRYNATURAL GAS PRODUCTIONNATURAL GAS RESERVENATURAL GAS TRANSMISSIONNITROGENNITROUS OXIDEOILPETROLEUMPETROLEUM INDUSTRYPETROLEUM PRODUCTIONPILOT PROJECTSPIPELINEPIPELINE SYSTEMSPOWER GENERATIONPOWER PLANTPRIMARY ENERGYPRIMARY ENERGY CONSUMPTIONPROPANEPSCPSCSQUANTITY OF GASRECOVERABLE GASRECOVERABLE RESERVESREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESRESERVOIRSSAFETY REGULATIONSSAFETY STANDARDSSAFETY TESTINGSCENARIOSSF6SOURCE OF ENERGYTAX CREDITTAX POLICIESTRANSMISSION CAPACITYTRANSMISSION INFRASTRUCTUREUNDERGROUND COALUTILIZATION TECHNOLOGIESUTILIZATION TECHNOLOGYVAMWATER VAPORWINDWIND ENERGYWIND FARMWIND POWERWIND TURBINEWORLD ENERGYWorld Bank10.1596/13001
