Configurational Path of Decarbonisation Based on Coal Mine Methane (CMM): An Econometric Model for the Polish Mining Industry

This study presents the econometric model for the Polish mining industry on the topic of the configuration path of decarbonisation based on coal mine methane (CMM). CMM is released from coal mines around the world, including Poland. CMM is taken into account in the decarbonisation of countries with the highest underground coal production. Over the past ten years, CMM emissions have been gaining greater attention due to their status as We accept greenhouse gas (GHG) and their potential use as a clean energy resource. The very important problem for the mining plants is the system of controlling the level of methane. In this paper, we present an econometric model for mine production linear programming, taking into account both market considerations and controlling the amount of methane released into the air from mines. This model can use to control methane in the Polish mining industry. Moreover, this model can be used in the strategy of decarbonisation of the Polish industry according to the European strategy toward net zero (2050).
