Background
Taldinskaya-Zapadnaya 1 coal mine (шахта Талдинская-Западная 1) is an underground mine in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia.[10]
The Taldinskaya-Zapadnaya 1 coal mine is owned and operated by SUEK Kuzbass JSC, a subsidiary of SUEK.
As of 2019, Taldinskaya-Zapadnaya-1 was producing about 2.8 MT of high volatile coal, mostly exported. [11] As of 2020, most of the coal produced by SUEK-Kuzbass was supplied to power generating companies in Europe and Asia. In the Kemerovo region, SUEK provides heat and power to the cities of Kemerovo and Novokuznetsk, the towns of Belovo and Myski.[12]
Over the 6 months of 2022, production at the mine was only 530 thousand tonnes, down by 1.2 million tonnes compared with the same period in 2021.[13] 2021 production reached almost 3.4 Mt thanks to the commissioning of a new longwall No 66 with 4.5Mt of reserves. However in 2022 due to hazardous conditions the same production levels could not be achieved.[13] In March 2022, following the inspection by the State authorities, the mine's operations were temporarily suspended.[14] Just a month later in April 2022 it was reported that a rock collapsed at the Taldinskaya-Zapadnaya 1 mine, with two miners left behind the rubble.[15]
In January 2023, a new longwall was commissioned with reserves of 4.4 million tonnes and planning to mine 0.3 million tonnes per month.[16] However exact 2023 and 2024 production levels were not available.
The operations of the mine were suspended several times in 2024 and 2025.[17]
Methane Plumes Detected Nearby
Global Energy Monitor researchers analyze satellite-detected methane plumes in order to determine whether they have been observed at or near the site of GEM energy assets. The satellite data provider creates imagery of individual methane plumes and estimates their emission rates at the time of observation. GEM has reviewed many of these plume detections against Google Earth imagery and GEM’s own energy infrastructure tracker data. The following table lists methane plumes which are associated with the energy asset or facility based on distance and manual review. (A full description of the analysis process is available in the Global Methane Emitters Tracker methodology wiki page.)
