GB/T 32151.11-2026 is the Chinese national standard covering the emissions of a coal mine - chiefly the methane released or drained from the seam, which is a far larger term than the fuel burned on site and which is the reason mine gas capture is worth doing. The GB/T 32151 series is the basis of China's corporate greenhouse gas reporting and, through it, of the national emissions trading scheme. Coal mine methane is one of the largest single reduction opportunities available in China. The standard fixes the boundary, the emission sources, the activity data and factors, the calculation and the report. It replaces GB/T 32151.11-2018 and has been in force since 1 October 2026.

a) The carbon content of the fuel shall be tested regularly by a qualified professional organization, in accordance with the relevant requirements in Table 1 or GB/T 474. Standards such as GB/T 476, GB/T 8984, GB/T 13610, GB/T 30733, and SH/T 0656, among others, address different types of coal. Gases such as natural gas and gaseous fuels undergo gas composition testing at least once per batch upon arrival at the plant or every six months, and then the testing is conducted according to the specific requirements of each batch. The volume fraction of each gaseous component and the number of carbon atoms in the chemical formula of that component are used to calculate the carbon content according to formula (3), and the calculation is performed accordingly.

The amount of methane emitted during mining operations. The calculation of methane emissions from underground coal mining enterprises should preferably use the measured method to obtain methane emission data. For statistical accounting, if underground mining companies do not have the relevant methane monitoring conditions, the emission factor method can also be used to calculate methane emissions. Measurement method.

0.3 Nm^3/t; for coal mines with overburden depth exceeding 50 m, the default value is
1.9 Nm^3/t; for intermediate depths or where information on overburden thickness is unavailable... For coal mines with specific temperature data, the default value is
6.2.3.4 Methane Emissions from Post-Mining Activities 6.2.3.4.1 Calculation Formula The amount of methane emitted from post-mining activities is calculated according to formula (13). 6.2.3.4.2 Acquisition of Emission Factor Data Enterprises should prioritize using measured methane emission factors from post-mining activities. Measurements of methane emission factors from post-mining activities should be conducted every normal production month. Choose any production shift on a given day and take a coal sample from the main shaft conveyor belt. Take 3 to 6 parallel samples each time, and keep the density of each group of parallel samples high. The samples should be sealed and stored for six months to facilitate retesting in case of significant data fluctuations. Post-mine coal sampling can be conducted in accordance with GB/T 19559 or NB/T 11329. Samples of residual gas were sent for testing or self-testing to obtain measured data on post-mine activity emission factors. The arithmetic operations of all measured data were then performed. The average value is used as the emission factor for post-mine activities of coal production enterprises within the accounting period. If measured data is unavailable, enterprises may use the default values. The methane emission factor for post-mining activities in outburst-prone and high-gas mines is missing. The provincial value is

If no actual measurement is available, the relative carbon dioxide emission rate of a mine can be directly obtained from the gas level assessment results of that year. If a mine... If no gas/carbon dioxide rating assessment was conducted during the accounting and reporting period, its relative carbon dioxide level can be determined based on the assessment results of the most recent year. Carbon emission. If the mine is not a carbon dioxide outburst mine, the carbon dioxide emissions from its underground mining operations can be ignored.
