Resumen
KRETSCHMANN, J.. Post-mining excellence: strategy and transfer. J. S. Afr. Inst. Min. Metall. [online]. 2018, vol.118, n.8, pp.853-859. ISSN 2411-9717. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2411-9717/2018/v118n8a7.
In 2007, a political understanding was arranged to phase out German hard coal mining (GHCM) in a socially acceptable manner by the end of 2018, after more than 200 years of production. This decision required a new strategy in order to prepare the GHCM industry for the post-mining era. To create a sustainable development strategy (SDS), the long-term impacts of GHCM activities concerning the environmental, economic, and social dimensions were analysed systematically and forward-looking. High technical standards in environmental protection and post-mining technologies, and experiences in the development of former mine sites to create jobs, are significant from an international point of view. Besides, the cultural heritage of the mining era was preserved and developed for new purposes. The SDS of the GHCM industry can serve as a role model for mining regions facing similar challenges.
