In December 2021, the European Commission presented a draft Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the reduction of methane emissions in the energy sector and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/942. The article summarizes the proposed EU rules on methane emissions from coal mines. In addition, it summarizes the figures of anthropogenic methane emissions for the European Union countries from the three main emission sources: agriculture, waste and the energy sector. The volumes of methane emissions from EU and Polish coal mines are also presented and divided into underground and surface mines, as well as active mines, abandoned mines and post-mining activities.
