Background

Yalevsky coal mine (шахта Ялевского) is an underground coal mine in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia.

The Yalevsky coal mine is a combination of two mines which were joint in 2016, the Kotinskaya mine and the Yalevsky mine (former No. 7 mine).

The construction of the Kotinskaya mine began in 1994, construction was then frozen until 2001 and the mine was commissioned in 2004. No. 7 coal mine was commissioned in 2000 with capacity of 2.8 million tonnes of coal per year. In 2005 the No. 7 mine became part of SUEK. In November 2014 mine No. 7 was renamed after V. D. Yalevsky.

As of 2017, produced coal was mostly exported to European and Asian markets.

In 2013 a methane flare in a conveyor drift killed 8 miners and halted production for almost 12 months.

SUEK invested 10 billion roubles (more than $145 million) in the Yalevsky mine between 2013 and 2018. SUEK's 2021 annual report mentioned the Yalevsky mine as a high-potential mining asset that they will develop further.

In the first half of 2022, production at the Yalevsky coal mine reduced significantly compared to the same period last year, by 1.8 million tonnes to 3.3 million tonnes. This suggests that 6m 2021 production was 5.1 million tonnes. No annual production figure was available for 2022.

In 2022, the mine has been developing a large-scale longwall launched in the end of 2019, as well a preparing a new longwall N52-15 with reserves of 10 million tonnes.

In May 2023, a new longwall was launched at the mine with reserves of 6.9Mt and another longwall was in the process of commissioning.

In 2024, longwall No. 52-15 alone produced nearly 2.6 million tonnes; total mine production figures for 2023-2025 were not available.

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.)
