The restructuring of the coal mining sector in Poland is directly linked with the general political and economic reforms that started in 1989. The closing of the least profitable collieries, reduction of coal production and the size of the workforce in the sector were relatively successful parts of this process, especially during its first decade.
Coal mining in Poland produced 144 million metric tons of coal in 2012, providing 55 percent of that country’s primary energy consumption, and 75 percent of electrical generation. Poland is the second-largest coal-mining country in Europe, after Germany, and the ninth-largest coal producer in the world. The country consumes nearly all the coal it mines, and is no longer a major coal exporter.
Mining is fully mechanised, with over 90% of coal produced by longwall systems. Since the beginning of the 1990s, the Polish mining industry has been going through a process of transformation. Hard coal production decreased from 177.4 million tonnes in 1989 to 63.4 million tonnes in 2018.
Oct 20, 2020 In Poland, the nation’s once-mighty coal industry is legend — and a curse. Poland touts itself as one of the major coal-producing countries of the 20th century, and its mining history is tightly interwoven with its modernization. In the communist era, the gritty hard-coal industry enabled a prostrate nation to rise from the ruins of World War II.
