📄 Abstract（原文）
Methane emissions from coal mines pose significant environmental and operational challenges. Methane can be released from coal seams and surrounding rock layers as a result of mining operations. These emissions pose environmental risks and can lead to fire and explosion hazards. Therefore, reducing coal mine methane emissions is essential for both protecting miners’ safety and cutting greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, capturing methane before it escapes into the atmosphere can be economically beneficial and used as a valuable energy source. This study proposes an integrated approach that combines advanced methane capture and hydrogen production technologies to enhance both environmental performance and energy recovery in coal mining operations. By combining methane capture with hydrogen production, the study presents a practical solution for lowering greenhouse gas emissions in the coal sector. This strategy promotes the adoption of low-carbon energy sources and offers a sustainable path forward for coal-dependent regions facing decarbonization challenges. A scenario-based techno-economic analysis is presented, including investment and operating costs, hydrogen yield, energy generation potential, and greenhouse gas mitigation. Further research should focus on process optimization, the integration of carbon capture technologies, and the valorization of by-products to further reduce the environmental footprint.
