Background
The Razrez Raspadsky coal mine (разрез Распадский) is a surface mine in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia.
It is part of the Raspadskaya coal mining complex. Raspadskaya PJSC, a subsidiary of Evraz, operates the entire Raspadskaya coal mining complex.[11] Evraz announced in December 2021 that it was planning to spin off Raspadskaya Coal Company, but these plans were cancelled in March 2022 due to the sanctions against Russia.[12]
The Razrez Raspadsky coal mine has 4 Mtpa of capacity, according to the company's website.[13] The mine produces coking coal. Mining is mainly performed by the traditional open method as coal seams lie at a large slope.[13] As of mid-2022, coal from the mine was supplied to metallurgical companies in Russia as well as exported to Asia-Pacific countries through the ports in Russia's Far East.[14]
In 2021 the mine produced 3.2 million tonnes of coal, while 2020 production was 0.9 million tonnes.[15] Production was suspended in 2020 due to weak market conditions, but operations were resumed in the end of 2020.[15] According to the company's 2021 annual report, an investment project was approved for the acquisition of electric excavator to replace the diesel-hydraulic excavator and two output machines.[15] The mine's production increased significantly in 2022 reaching 4.7 million tonnes.[16]
In March 2024, new equipment was being delivered to the mine.[17] 2023-2025 production levels were not known.
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.

|---|---|
| M0838.B1 | This mine operates under subsoil land-use license КЕМ12939ТЭ, as identified through the Annual Report of PJSC “Yuzhny Kuzbass Coal Company”, page 8, https://www.archive.org/details/go-uk-2024, 2024.The license was issued on January 12, 2005, and is valid until December 31, 2044. The boundary was extracted from the NedraExpert portal at https://web.archive.org/web/20251209184505/https://www.nedraexpert.ru/license/147937?ysclid=miyxhn463j279250287. The approximate area of the resulting boundary is 4 square km. |
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.)
