The companies RWE, Vattenfall and EPH are owners or (in the case of EPH) potential buyers of lignite mines in the Rhineland and in Lusatia. The mining area of Garzweiler near Cologne has the biggest single lignite deposit in Europe. Here, RWE mines just under 100 million tons a year used exclusively for electricity in the local power plants ...
As observed, for instance, in the Rhineland lignite coal open-cast mining area in Germany, the contaminant concentrations are mostly very low. The overburden containing loess exhibited values between 5.1 and 12.1 mg kg −1 for copper, between 1.3 and 7.0 mg kg −1 for chromium, between 3.8 and 12.2 mg kg −1 for zinc and <0.15 mg kg −1 for ...
Germany, mining was stopped in several open cast mines until the turn of the millennium. Today, active lignite production in Germany is mainly concentrated on the two districts in the Rhineland and Lusatia as well as on some remaining mines in Central Germany (Table 1). e western lignite mining district in the Rhineland
This chapter applies the perspective of the "Politics of Scale" to the two German lignite mining regions of Lusatia (Lausitzer Revier) and Rhineland (Rheinisches Revier). Both regions have a long history in the extraction of lignite. This history is about to end following the political decision to phase out the use of lignite in Germany.

Reclaimed lignite open-cast mine areas in the Rhineland are obligatorily covered by loess or a mixture of loess and sand deposits originating from the upper quartary soil layers before mining in front of the mining face. Consequently, the diverse soil fauna that has established on the reclaimed landscape may not only be the result of primary ...
Hambach Mine is part of the Rhineland Lignite Mining Region. It is a large open-pit coal mine operated by RWE and used for mining lignite.

RWE Power will end lignite production at Garzweiler Mine in 2030. It may happen that the federal government orders to keep some power plant units temporarily available for reasons of security of supply. According to the German Coal-Phase Out Act, this would apply for a maximum period of three years. In that case there would be a sufficient ...
The Rhineland lignite mining area with a production of 102.8 million tons of lignite (1996) is predominant compared with the Lusatian mining area (63.6 million tons brown coal in 1996) and the lignite mining area in Central Germany (16.8 million tons brown coal in 1996; for location, see Fig. 1). At present four open pit mines are active in
