LIGNITE BASINS IN POLAND AFTER 1945
Journal Title: Kwartalnik Kolegium Ekonomiczno-Społecznego Studia i Prace - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Lignite mining in Poland started after World War Two, as a result of the change of western borders. Until the 1970 s, the Lower Silesian Turoszów Basin played the primary role, despite competition from the Konin Basin in Greater Poland. In 1978 both basins, together with several smaller mines, provided 41 m tonnes of lignite. Ten years later the number rose to 73,5 m tonnes, mostly thanks to investments in the centrally located Bełchatów Basin, which has since dominated the sector. Overall production never recovered after 1989, with Poland falling from the 5th, to the 8th place among the largest lignite extractors between 1989 and the beginning of the 21st century. Recently about one third of the energy in Poland has been based on lignite, similarly to Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey (while in the Czech Republic, Serbia, and Montenegro it has amounted to 69%).
