Background
The Grosvenor coal project is an underground coal mine operated by Anglo Coal Australia, a subsidiary of Anglo American, near Moranbah in the northern region of the Bowen Basin in Queensland, Australia.
The mine recently resumed operation following a methane explosion in May 2020.[7] Originally, the coal project had a national commissioning date of 2013, to produce 4.3 million tonnes of hard coking coal. The project would cost $1.1 billion to construct and employ 1000 people during construction and 300 when operating.[8]
On its website, Anglo states that the Grosvenor project is a $AUS1.1 billion project which would produce "up to seven million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of run-of-mine (ROM) coal, which would be processed to produce approximately five Mtpa of coking coal for export." The project would be located next to Anglo's Moranbah North mine. The company states that the project will use the longwall mining method to mine coal with an anticipated mine life in excess of 30 years.[9]
The Grosvenor underground coal mine in Queensland closed following a prolonged methane gas fire in June 2024, with re-entry and inspection activities commencing in 2025 after the mine was unsealed. As of August 2025, no production restart had been reported, and the site’s future remained uncertain amid ongoing safety concerns and a potential sale by the owner.[10]
Mining Accidents
On 6 May 2020, a methane explosion occurred at Grosvenor Mine, injuring six miners.[11] Ultimately, Anglo made the decision to permanently seal the part of the longwall panel where the methane ignition incident occurred.[12] Operations at the mine remained suspended from the incident date to February 2022, during which time mining development activities — such as significant investment in new equipment, and the development of new technologies — took place in an effort to enhance the safe operation of the mine.[13]

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.

Associated Coal Mine Methane Mitigation Projects
Some coal mines have installed infrastructure which can use and/or destroy some methane emissions associated with mining. In 2024, the Global Methane Initiative reported that this mine had a mitigation project associated with it. This methodology page describes how GEM classified these projects and linked them with coal mines in the Global Coal Mine Tracker.
Table MM1: Methane mitigation projects
| Mitigation Project Name | Project Type | GMI Reported Status | GMI Reported Start Year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intergra Underground (Grosvenor 2) Mine CMM Power Project - Australia | utilization | Operational | 2016 |
| Intergra Underground (Grosvenor 1) Mine CMM Power Project - Australia | utilization | Operational | 2015 |
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.)
