Ukraine's Coal Mine Industry Continues Regional Leadership to Reduce Emissions, Cut Gas Costs and Enhance Workplace Safety

The JSC Coal Company Krasnoarmeiskaya Zapadnaya is the latest Ukraine company to modernize its coal mining operations by signing a framework agreement with GE Energy. Under the agreement, JSC plans to install up to 20 of GE’s ecomaginationTM-certified Jenbacher coal mine gas-fueled cogeneration units. The engines will use the active mine‘s own methane gas to generate about 129 MW in total power output, covering the mine’s on-site power and heat requirements. The initiative will also reduce site emissions and support workplace safety initiatives.

The privately owned mine is located near the town of Krasnoarmeisk in the coal-rich Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine. read more
