Whereas in pursuance of Part I of Schedule 2 to the Mines and Quarries Act 1954 the Secretary of State has published notice of his intention to make the following regulations and has not received any objection to the draft thereof in respect to which he is required to refer the draft ...
This escalation significantly raises the risk of dynamic gas-related disasters in mines, such as coal–gas outbursts and gas-dust explosions at the working face1. Gas extraction is a multi-physics process, with common technologies including coal seam borehole extraction and surface extraction (Fig...
We find that new coal mines in the Galilee Basin and globally are not economically viable and are prone to become stranded assets due to climate policy and the increasing role of renewables, even in Asia, where the highest coal-demand growth exists. Our findings illustrate the irrational ...
and one-half (53%) lower total abundance than unmined streams, with these impacts occurring across all taxa investigated thus far (invertebrates, fish, and salamanders). Even after post-mining reclamation, biodiversity impacts persisted. Our investigation demonstrates that current US regulations are...
19Altmetric Metrics Abstract Large-scale closure of coal mines is required for China to achieve carbon neutrality. However, what this means for methane emissions, particularly for abandoned mine methane (AMM), is highly uncertain. Here we construct a detailed and dynamic coal mine database to esti...
This shows that even in the closure of the closest mining site, mining-related activities should be able to provide their services to other mines located farther away. 4. Discussion Our bottom-up approach allowed us to measure the indirect employment effects of hard coal mining in Upper Silesia...
PDF Tools Share Abstract To create a good working environment for workers in coal mines and ensure that they can work safely and comfortably, environmental assessments of coal mines represent an important method used to achieve this goal. In this paper, a comprehensive environmental evaluation model...
In particular, regulations strong enough to protect surface owners from misuse of sovereign power may constitute de facto privatization of the mineral rights to surface owners. Starting with the 1920 Mineral Leasing Act, Congress moved toward what was to prove a standard policy of extending access ...
From a material-environment synergy perspective, yield stress and mini-slump directly influence the long-term stability of Cemented Mine Filling Material (CMFM), while water table lowering is related to compliance with environmental regulations (GB/T14848-2017). For example, a maximum yield stress ...
What is important, however, is that existing mines treat sustainability in an integrated manner, not just as a public Maintaining the public license to operate with coal requires attention to three points: • The need for low-emission energy is growing. • Coal use will ultimately decline ...
