Uporedni prikaz proizvodnje električne energije iz uglja zemalja Evrope sa najvećim udelom: politika i projekcija proizvodnje

The energy development of European countries has been based on coal for decades. The installed capacity of all coal energy capacities based on coal is over 2000 GW. Coal is still essential for electricity generation in Europe. Despite the great potential of coal, the trend is to reduce the production of electricity from coal by 2050. Given the Green Agenda and EU policy, European countries are turning to those renewable energy resources. Serbia has potentials primarily in wind, solar and biomass energy, ie hydro potential and imported gas. Serbia's coal (lignite) reserves are over 3 billion tons and enable longterm exploitation and reliable supply of thermal power plants. Germany and Poland also have very large coal reserves, but also a long-term plan to close the mine, namely Germany by 2038, and Poland by 2049.Based on all these parameters, this paper is a review paper that can make a small contribution to the creation of future energy policy of Serbia.
