According to the information provided by Bogusław Hutek, the head of the “Solidarity” in the mining company, there are presently as many as 2 million tonnes of coal on the mined ruins, which accounts for about 10% of the yearly production of the company. This situation makes the stableness and efficiency of the Polish mining sector questionable.

This underlines the urgent request to address the issue of carbon surpluses in the home market.

At the same time, a model of cooperation between mining and energy is urgently needed to guarantee the stableness of the coal sector.
