The mining industry requires a reliable system to accurately and safely measure methane concentrations at various locations in underground coal mines. This paper aims to investigate the potential for ...

In coal mining communities, black lung has long been considered an “old man’s disease,” one to be almost expected after enough years underground.

Coal mines abandoned this decade could be used to house about 288 gigawatts of solar panels, more than all the power plants in Germany, from otherwise deserted land, according to a new report by ...

Disused coal mines could be refashioned to place vast fields of solar panels, a new report suggests, providing an unlikely solution to a common obstacle to uptake of the green energy source.

And the prospect is not just theoretical. Coal mine-to-solar conversions are already happening in some countries, most notably China, which leads the world in solar uptake. There, 90 conversions with ...
