If coal mines are gassy, mines can drain methane through drainage systems at higher concentrations (before or during mining). •Such methane is more concentrated and is easier and cheaper to utilize or destroy. •Coal mines can opt to capture and remove more methane out of underground coal mines through drainage. 6
