Impact Assessment of the Upper Silesian Industrial Region on Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Poland
2003
Białecka, Barbara
This paper is devoted to the assessment of the impact of the Upper Silesian Industrial Region on greenhouse gases emissions in Poland. Detailed analysis will cover emissions of methane and carbon dioxide which are characteristic for the mining and power engineering industry prevailing in this region. The industries of Silesia emit 16.2% of CO₂, and about 30% of methane emissions in Poland come from coal seams. The leading strategy to counteract this situation, not only in Upper Silesia, should involve the improved efficiency of energy use and decreased use of primary energy carriers.

According to Water Plan of the Republic of Serbia the area between Kovin and Dubovac was marked as a possible place for water source for regional water supply of towns and industry of South Backa Region (Serbia). Commencement of underwater coal exploitation was at the beginning of 1990's in the Danube riparian zone near Dubovacka Ada. Potential influence of long-term underwater coal exploitation from "Kovin" trial coal pit on Dubovacka Ada on quality and quantity of groundwater that will be extracted from regional water source is analysed in this article.
