We drain mines and use methane

We drain mines

• We drain 13 mines and protect 7 active mining plants
  from water risks.
• We discard into the basins of the Wisła and Odra rivers almost half of the water pumped by coal mining.
  It equates to about 90 million cubic meters per year.
• Central Mine Drainage Plant SRK has 13 pumping stations.
• If the liquidated mines were not drained, all 18 mines in the region would be successively flooded.
• We increase the use of water for industrial purposes. We work on the project to treat water and provide
  it to the residents of Silesia.

We use methane

•  We capture methane from three mines in SRK. In 2018 we sold over 25 million cubic meters of this gas.
• We protect the natural environment by reducing the methane hazard and its emissions.
