Background
The Raspadskaya-Koksovaya coal mine (шахта Распадская-Коксовая) is an underground mine in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia.[11]
It is part of the Raspadskaya coal mining complex.
It is not to be confused with Razrez Raspadsky Koksovy coal mine. Raspadskaya PJSC owns and operates the entire Raspadskaya coal mining complex. Evraz announced in December 2021 that it is planning to spin off Raspadskaya Coal Company, but these plans were cancelled in March 2022 due to the sanctions against Russia.[12]
The mine is said to have the most complex geological conditions in Kuzbass basin.[13]
Before 2019, Raspadskaya-Koksovaya mined coal using the board-and-pillar method of seam mining. The changeover to longwall technology made it possible to double the volume of coal production.[14]
In its 2021 annual report, Raspadskaya Coal Company stated that an investment project will continue at the mine, aiming to transition to new reservoirs, maintain the current level of production and purchase equipment.[15] In July 2022, there was a collapse at the mine resulting in 3 fatalities.[16]
Mining operations in some sections were subject to suspension several times following safety violations, but operations then resumed.[17][18]
In October 2024, a new longwall with reserves of 870,000 tonnes of coking coal was commissioned at the mine. The face had a length of 495 metres and mining was conducted at a depth of 650 metres. The reserves were expected to be extracted over 15 months.[19]
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.

| M0837.B1 | This mine operates under two subsoil land-use licenses КЕМ15030ТЭ and КЕМ11578ТЭ,as identified through the official Kuzbassgiproschaft (Кузбассгипрошахт) website,https://web.archive.org/web/20251208180730/https://kgsh.ru/mediacenter/1144/.The boundary is the outer perimeter of these two licenses,with internal gaps removed. The license КЕМ15030ТЭ was issued on November 1, 2010, and is valid until July 1, 2053. The western portion of the Raspadskaya-Koksovaya boundary overlaps with the eastern edge of the V.I. Lenin Underground Coal Mine boundary. The license КЕМ11578ТЭ was issued on June 17, 2003, and is valid until July 1, 2057. The boundary for license КЕМ15030ТЭ was extracted from the NedraExpert portal at https://web.archive.org/web/20251208163515/https://www.nedraexpert.ru/subsurface/1144754536/1. The boundary for license КЕМ11578ТЭ was extracted from the NedraExpert portal at https://web.archive.org/web/20251208153507/https://www.nedraexpert.ru/subsurface/1144750445/1. The approximate area of the resulting boundary is 20 square km. |
