One concerns the use of coal as a feedstock, instead of as a fuel for electricity production and steel making, and the other involves an assessment of the international coal market.<\/p>\n<p>There are many in Germany who think that coal is \u201conly\u201d good for making steel and of course generating electricity and that in doing so it is damaging the climate and so should no longer have a future in the country. But they are overlooking the fact that this resource has other potential uses. Coal also can play a role in in the chemicals industry. The humic substances lignite e.\u2009g. contains can help improve barren soils. Coal also can be used &#8230;<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/2025.mining-report.de\/english\/current-issue-6-2017\/\" class=\"shortc-button small white\">Read more<\/a>With my best regards \/\/ Mit freundlichem Gl\u00fcckauf<br \/>\nDipl.-Ing.

For the mining companies this means having to safeguard lignite supplies as a reserve for renewables-based electricity in the long term and under reasonable economic conditions, and this in spite of the declining production of solid fuel for energy generation.

The Essen-based RAG company is now committed to finding solutions for the inherited liabilities of the mining industry that will prove sustainable in the long term. Yet the transition to the post-mining era will not happen overnight. When production comes to an end in late 2018 the industry will enter a closure phase that will last from 2019 to 2021. During this period the last few collieries will be decommissioned and the remaining workforce will be downsized in a socially compatible manner. RAG will then continue to be responsible for post-mining operations from 2022 on. The company has already drawn up a sustainability strategy that sets out the methods it intends to use in tackling the legacy of the mining industry. This covers the three thematic focal points of post-mining operations, employees and business units, and cultural and social issues. The Annual Coal Report published by the German Coal Association (GVSt) in Essen, which this year bears the title \u201cTaking responsibility for future generations\u201d, presents the RAG sustainability strategy &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Author:\u00a0<\/strong>R.\u2009A.

In spite of current uncertainties and geopolitical crises nearly one in every two small and medium-sized companies intends to maintain its overseas business strategy for the next three to five years and many are even planning to expand these operations. These were the findings from an SME study conducted by DZ Bank. In view of the protectionist economic policy announced by US President Donald Trump the Federation of German Industry (BDI), Berlin\/Germany, has advised German companies to look increasingly towards Asian markets, thereby confirming the views of the Network Mining Group of the EnergieAgentur.NRW in Dusseldorf\/Germany and many association experts. As a result, attention is shifting increasingly to countries on the Balkan peninsula, the Black Sea region, the Caucasus, Central Asia &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Author: <\/strong>Peter von Hartlieb, EnergieAgentur.NRW, D\u00fcsseldorf<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/2025.mining-report.de\/english\/outlook-turkey\" class=\"shortc-button small white\">Read more<\/a>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>\n\t\t<hr style=\"margin-top:10px; margin-bottom:10px;\" class=\"divider divider-normal\">\n\t\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As 2017 draws to a close I would like to put the spotlight on themes that rarely, if ever, feature in Mining Report Gl\u00fcckauf.
