Background
The Barzasskoye tovarischestvo coal mine (разрез Барзасское товарищество) is an operating surface mine in the Kemerovo Oblast in Russia. The Barzasskoye tovarishestvo coal mine is owned and operated by Barzasskoe Tovarischestvo LLC, which in turn is owned by Stroyservis JSC.[15]
The Barzasskoye tovarischestvo coal mine is the youngest mine of the company. It was put into operation in 2006 at the sites of the Glushinsky coal deposit.[16]
The company produces coal of coking and energy grades KS, KO, SS (Bituminous). There is a processing plant of its own with an annual processing capacity of 2.5 million tonnes of coal per year.[16]
In the 10 months of 2022, the mine produced 2.225 million tonnes of coal.[17] In May 2022, there was a fatality at the mine when a truck fell in the pit.[18]
All coal mines owned by Stroyservis decreased 2023 production by about 7% to 16.3 million tonnes.[19] However, the Barzasskoye tovarishestvo appeared to have increased production. The mine was reported to have produced 2.55 million tonnes of coking coal.[19] Assuming the same share of coking vs thermal coal as in 2022 (78% vs 22%), total 2023 coal production of the mine was estimated at 3.2 million tonnes.
According to industry-wide statistics, coal production at Barzasskoye Tovarischestvo amounted to 1.22 million tonnes in the first half of 2024.[20]
Expansion
In addition to the existing mine, two expansion projects were considered: Gusinsky-South and Shcherbinovsky. They were mentioned in Russia's 'Programme for Coal Industry Development up to 2035', released in June 2020.[21]
Gusinsky-South was planned to be commissioned in the first quarter of 2020.[21] It appeared that it was commissioned as planned in late 2019/2020 as Stroyservis has been reporting environmental indicators and explosion activity separately for this section of the mine.[22]
As for Scherbinovsky, in its press release from December 2021 the company mentioned the plan to produce a total of 4.1 million tonnes in 2022, including an additional 0.9 million tonnes from Scherbinovsky.[23] However as of September 2023 it appeared that this section was not yet producing as there was no explosion activity or environmental indicators reported for this section of the mine during 2022 or 2023.[22] Actual 2022 production also fell short of the previous expectation and was around 2.7 million tonnes.[17]
The technical documentation for the public discussion of Scherbinovsky section was published in August 2024 (without underlying documentation), with the plan to conduct environmental assessment of the expansion from June to November 2024.[24] It therefore appeared that the expansion project was still being developed.
This is further supported by the fact that the development of the Scherbinovsky section was reviewed on 20 November 2025 as part of the Schedule for the review of mining development plans for 2026 for enterprises engaged in open-pit mining in the Kemerovo, Novosibirsk, Tomsk and Omsk regions, indicating that the project remained under regulatory consideration.[25]

Coal Mine Boundaries and Methane Sources
Global Energy Monitor researchers have identified coal mine boundary/boundaries and potential sources of coal mine methane (CMM) for this mine. These research results can be used to drive CMM attribution and mitigation efforts, particularly when combined with remotely sensed methane plume locations and mine ownership data. Explore the results with the embedded map at the top of this page by clicking on the mine boundary polygon or the CMM placemarkers to reveal more details. A detailed description of this research can be found in Coal Mine Boundaries and Methane Sources. This data is also available as a downloadable companion dataset to the Global Coal Mine Tracker and the Global Methane Emitters Tracker.
