The United States will provide Mongolia with up to $700,000 to participate in programs to capture and sell methane gas. 

Operating through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Methane to Markets partnership offers Mongolia the opportunity to develop businesses to capture escaping methane gas from coal mines and from herds of cattle. 

The grant money is to be used to purchase equipment and train staff in the capturing and reselling of methane gas. 

U.S. officials note that by 2015 the methane program has the potential to annually reduce methane emissions by 50 million metric tons of carbon gases– comparable to planting 55 million acres of trees or recovering 500 billion cubic feet of natural gas.
