Brown coal assessment

Brown coal in Ukraine, like hard coal, is the only energy resource whose reserves are potentially sufficient to ensure the energy security of the state.

Brown coal mining and its deep processing into finished products can become one of the main sources of meeting Ukraine's energy needs.

Brown coal, in addition to its traditional use as an energy raw material, can be of great importance for obtaining liquid and gaseous fuels through its deep processing.

Total brown coal resources, according to the state balance of mineral reserves of Ukraine, amount to about 2.9 billion tons.

The main tasks of this direction for the period until 2030 are to reassess the existing reserve of mine construction sites with the identification of highly promising facilities for development, from the standpoint of new processing technologies, and prepare them for further investment.
