Sichuan Furong Coal Mine Methane Utilization Project will be implemented by the Sichuan Furong Group Limited Industrial Company. The project is located in Yibin city in Sichuan Province, China. The Sichuan Furong Coal Mine Methane Utilization Project is an initiative led by Sichuan Furong Group Limited Industrial Company in Yibin City, Sichuan Province, China. The project aims to capture and utilize coal mine methane (CMM) for power generation, thereby reducing reliance on electricity from both the on-site captive power plant and the Central China Power Grid.
🍃 Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by capturing and utilizing methane.
📈️ Improves energy efficiency in industrial operations.
⚡️ Generates clean electricity, reducing reliance on grid power.
🌏 Supports global climate goals through carbon credit certification.
Sichuan Furong Coal Mine Methane Utilization Project will be implemented by the Sichuan Furong Group Limited Industrial Company. The project is located in Yibin city in Sichuan Province, China.The primary objective of the project is to capture and use coal mine methane for power generation. This will displace electricity used from the on-site captive power plant and the Central China Power Grid for on-site use. Currently, for safety reasons, CMM is extracted from four of Furong Group mines, including Baijiao, Shanmushu, Xunchang and Gongquan coal mines. There is a small portion of residential and commercial use of the extracted CMM in the baseline scenario. The remaining CMM is released directly into the atmosphere. The implementation of the project will not reduce or affect the baseline level of CMM combusted for thermal demand.
This is an avoidance project, meaning it contributes to climate action by preventing harmful emissions from entering the atmosphere. The project falls under the category of Energy Efficiency, as it focuses on reducing energy consumption and optimizing industrial energy use.
The project follows the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program, which is the most widely used greenhouse gas (GHG) crediting program, operated by Verra. This ensures that the emissions reductions from the project are measured, reported, and verified transparently, making the project eligible for carbon credits in the carbon market.
