Abstract The prediction of methane emissions to the longwall environment carried out at the design stage may include subjective errors resulting from the underestimation of input values for calculations and in particular, methane saturation of underlying and overlying seams, their thickness and distance from the mined seam. The method of a short-term prediction of methane emissions to the longwall environment during its excavation which is presented in this article and which was developed as a p
