Justification of renewed coal exploitation from the deposit 'Bajovac'

Abstract

Coal presents the basic energy potential of the Republic of Serbia. More than half of electric energy production in our country comes from this resource. This causes a need for activation the new seams of raw material which are potentially exploitable. This work presents an extract from the research results, published within the Project TR 33029 'Study of Possibilities for Valorization the Remaining Coal Reserves with a View to Provide the Stability of Energy Sector of the Republic of Serbia', financed by the Ministry of Education and Science. This work treated the problems of future coal exploitation from the West Morava Basin, with special review to the activation of the closed mine 'Bajovac'.
