Bełchatów represents one of the largest coal reserves in Poland having estimated reserves of 1,930 million tonnes of lignite coal. [2] In 2015, the mine produced 42.1 million tonnes of lignite (66.7% of Poland's total lignite production) [ 1 ] to feed Bełchatów Power Station .
Lignite (derived from Latin lignum meaning 'wood'), often referred to as brown coal, [1] is a soft, brown, combustible sedimentary rock formed from naturally compressed peat.It has a carbon content around 25–35% [1] [2] and is considered the lowest rank of coal due to its relatively low heat content.

The lignite was created from extensive forests and bogs, which developed in the Lower Rhine Bay between thirty and five million years ago. The geology of the Lower Rhine Bay is characterized by long-lasting subsidence movements in the last thirty million years, which led to the deposition of up to 1,300 m-thick sediment layers through the North ...
