The influence of methane emission and hard coal production on air quality and greenhouse effect in 1994-2017 in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin (Poland)
(Corresponding) Dreger M.
Topic:
Air pollution
The Upper Silesian Coal Basin (USCB) is the largest coal basin in Poland and one of the largest in Europe. It is the most industrialized region in Poland. The main natural resource and energy raw material is hard coal which was produced by 65 mines in the early nineties. The USCB geology is very...Read more

Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The utilization of electrical cars is considered as the new tool against the serious problems resulting from the oil products consumption of the transportation sector. Actually, many people believe that the adoption of electro-mobility, especially in the urban areas or small-medium size islands, is...Read more

The limitation of the methane (CH4) emission in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin as a result of the Polish Mining Group closing program.
Dreger M.
Topic:
Air pollution
Hard coal mining is responsible for 9% of the worldwide methane emission to the atmosphere. Methane is the second strongest greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide, but its radiative power is 25-30 times stronger than the radiative power of CO2 .In the Polish reality, hard coal mining is one of the...Read more
