Climate change and environmental degradation are pressing issues that Europe is addressing by transitioning towards a modern and competitive closed-loop economy. Poland and other countries dependent on fossil fuels are facing the challenge of decarbonization. Recommendations for the energy transformation in mining regions include utilizing renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic farms to power industrial equipment like mine water pumping systems. This not only reduces CO2 emissions but also creates new job opportunities and aids in the equitable transformation of mining regions. However, utilizing photovoltaic farms presents challenges like energy surplus on sunny days, necessitating the implementation of effective energy storage systems. Hydrogen generation through water electrolysis is recommended for long-term energy storage. Utility structures like on-site, off-site, and near-site systems are adaptable for optimizing energy consumption in mine water pumping stations. Overall, the move towards sustainable energy transition in mining regions presents opportunities for economic, environmental, and social benefits.
