Lignite mining causes the suspension of fine particulate matter in the air, the pollution of waterways, and the use of land. Additionally, it directly effects the status of waterways. Ground depressions effects the ground water level, and the quality of the ground water, e.g. due to sulphate and chloride. ... In Germany, total lignite ...

Coal, and even more so, brown coal or lignite, is currently under-researched in the energy humanities. Lignite still provides approximately 25% of "green" Germany's energy; its extraction obliterates human settlements and vibrant ecosystems, and its incineration produces more CO2 than any other fossil fuel, contributing massively to climate change. After discussing …

Miocene (26–6Ma) age lignites are overlain by more recent clays, sands and gravels. Lignite deposits extend to a depth of around 500m, while overburden thicknesses can be to up to 300m. Reserves of surface-mineable lignite are estimated to be 35,000Mt, of which 4,600Mt are contained in current areas plann…

Lignite is a distinctive incumbent fossil fuel that cannot be stored and must be burned for electricity and heat [13]. This practice is widespread in Germany, notably in the Rhenish Mining District (West Germany) and in Lusatia (East Germany), two regions whose economies are based on lignite mining.

The July flood 2021 at the mountain front of the Eifel-Ardennes Mountains and their foreland resulted in the flooding of the lignite mining area of Inden in Germany. The mining activities resulted in large-scale anthropogenic changes to the relief and fluvial system, leading to a landscape that is no longer adjusted to the recent process-response system.
