Up to 150 mln tonnes of coal hidden in Polish mine waste dumps

At the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023, the first pilot installation for the recovery of coal from mine waste heaps will be built at LW Bogdanka. This is the beginning of a post-mining land reclamation program, which is expected to enable the recovery of approximately 2 million tonnes of full-value coal per year. The raw material will then be able to be used in the commercial power and heating sectors.
