This statistic shows the amount of methane (CH4) emissions attributable to coal and lignite mining in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1990 to 2017, in thousand metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). It shows that methane emissions have decreased significantly over the years, particularly from 1990 to 2005 when they fell from 21.8 million metric tons of CO2e to 3.86 million metric tons of CO2e. In 2017, emissions totaled 481 thousand metric tons of CO2e.
