[EN07] Residues from combustion of coal for energy production
[EN07] Residues from combustion of coal for energy production
Key message
The amount of waste from combustion of coal is decreasing, particularly in recent years, as a result of the decreasing use of coal for electricity generation. The largest source is the Šoštanj Thermal Power Plant. Most of the waste is used as filling material in mines.
