Athens (AFP) – Greece's government said Thursday it plans to double production of lignite, or brown coal, in the coming two years despite the pollution it causes as Athens aims to reduce its dependence upon Russian gas.
Greece depends upon Russia for 40 percent of its natural gas and since Moscow invaded Ukraine in February it has been searching for alternatives to ensure normal supplies.
"Lignite is polluting and in normal circumstances, natural gas is cheaper," government spokesman Giannis Ekonomou said.
But given the conflict in Ukraine and the needed to diversify energy supplies, Ekonomou said increased brown coal production would be "necessary" for the next two years.
European countries have been seeking to reduce their use of brown coal to meet their climate pledges. Natural gas produces less emissions and has often been a relatively inexpensive alternative.
However, gas prices have surged this heating season as Russia reduced its sales on the European spot market, and deliveries under long-term contracts could be impacted by Western sanctions over Ukraine or Russian counter-sanctions.

Real, ordinary, everyday people care more about getting to work, paying their bills and putting food on the table than they do about these “climate change” alarmists.
I love it. Going to cause the Green Meanies to spontaneously combust. Wondering if we can use them as a coal substitute? Naw, probably smell bad.
Love it....Eat it Brandon!! And 10 more will follow from the European Union. The UK just got a head start.

John Kerry’s worst fears have been realized.
You mean to tell me that Greeks are unwilling to starve in the dark to virtue signal?
I wonder what the turks will have to say about this being the Ruskies are their allies and partners.
Did someone say turkmusscumba is part of NATO?
WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!
Putting food on the table requires energy unless you prefer to eat your food raw. Usually it is cooked over gas or electricity and not brown coal.
Turn up your windmills and rotate your solar panels, charge your electric vehicles and only then consider cooking your food.
Go hungry or else go begging and learn to code.
What a beautiful opportunity for the US to supply LNG to Europe and generate some income. But that would be MAGA and our present administration from hell would not allow cultivating America’s greatness.
Instead of coal distillation, have greenie distillation. Great idea.

No we’re all going to have a smoky aroma.
What kind of energy will Germany’s Ruhr industrial area use and where will they get it from?
