Lignite – a domestic and cheap to exploit resource – was a pillar of the country''s energy system for decades and, in 2015, 50% of electricity in Greece was still produced from lignite [HAEE: Greek Energy market report 2019]. The rapid phase out of all power generation from coal means that about 4 Gigawatt (GW) of coal generation capacity, or almost one quarter of the Greek generation

Lignite, often referred to as brown coal, is a soft, brown, combustible, sedimentary rock formed from naturally compressed is considered the lowest rank of coal due to its relatively low heat has a carbon content around 25 to 35 percent. It is mined all around the world and is used almost exclusively as a fuel for steamelectric power generation.

With an output of 350 million tonnes, four EU countries – Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Greece – account for over a third of the world''s lignite production. Renewable energies have cut into their profitability, but lignite producers are fighting back with increased deliveries and exports to thirdparty customers. In addition, they avoid CO

· Lignite currently accounts for 4GW of power generation in Greece, 22% of total capacity in the country. Evangelos Mytilineos, the CEO of Mytilineos SA, said: "The importance and vision of the Agios Nikolaos power plant to contribute to a cleaner energy future for Greece has been recognised by EIB''s firstever loan to Mytilineos.

A decision imposed by the EU on Greece to sell a large proportion of its lignite coal assets could be disastrous for consumers and the sustainability of Greece''s energy model, warns Nikos Mantzaris.

Table 1 presents the lignite production in Europe, the lignitebased electricity generation and the share of it in the total electricity generation in each country. Specifically, the availability of lignite is considerable in four EU countries—Germany, Greece, Poland, and the Czech Republic—and the share of lignite in electricity production is substantial in Czech Republic, Bulgaria

Lignite currently accounts for 4GW of power generation in Greece, 22% of total capacity in the country. The Agios Nikolaos power plant requires €322 million ( million) in total as part of efforts to ensure energy supply security and to expand the portfolio of flexible generation to support a growing share of intermittent renewables in the Greek electricity network.

Lignitefired power in Greece is not only increasingly uneconomic, but also creates high social and environmental costs – with coal power emissions in the country estimated to be twice those in France and Portugal (Sandbag, 2016). In terms of its proportion of total power emissions, Greece is the fourth largest emitter from coal production in Europe (Sandbag, 2016). In 2015, coalfired

Today in Greece, lignite power plants account for about one third of the installed power generation capacity. Production of lignite for 2017 amounted to ~ Mt. It showed an increase of ~ % over the previous year. Of this production, million tons came from PPC SA while a quantity of ~ million tons of smaller private mines.

In terms of lignite production, Greece ranks seventh worldwide and third in the EU. The country'' lowcalorific value reserves is estimated to last for over 45 years. Cost of lignitefired power generation Despite the low mining cost, Greece has the most expensive power generation from lignite in Europe mainly due to its extremely low quality.

The annual production of lignite is around 60 million tons, out of which 48 million tons derive from the coal fields of northern Greece (Ptolemais‐Amyndeon and Florina). Almost the entire lignite production is consumed for electricity generation, while small amounts of lignite are used for briquettes and other applications. The Greek coal‐fired power plants, which are about 4500 MW, use

Germany is the main producer and accounted for about 45% of total EU lignite production in 2018 followed by Poland (16%), Czechia (11%), Greece (10%), Bulgaria (8%) and Romania (6%). All together these 6 countries accounted for 96% of the total EU production. In 2018, 9% of total gross electricity produced in the EU was based on lignite, the same as the amount of electricity produced from

· For Greece domestic lignite with a share of % in power generation and accounting about 30% of primary energy consumption is currently the most important indigenous fuel. Besides modest oil and gas reserves lignite is the only indigenous significant fossil fuel source, representing approximately 80% of primary energy production. Greece, mining 70 Mt annually, is the second lignite

Coal production growth slowed down in Russia (+1% only) and remained stable in Turkey. In the EU, climate policies, the end of subsidies for coal production in 2018, high carbon prices and the increased competition from renewables and gas in the power sector contributed to a 15% fall in coal production, especially in Germany and Poland.

Lignite deposits. Lignite production in Greece comes from lignite deposits amounting to ~ billion tons. Of these, about 3,2 billion tons are considered to be economically exploitable. The most important deposits are located in the northern part of the country, in the region of Ptolemaida – Amynteo – Florina, and are estimated at around billion tons.

Today, approximately 75% of the energy needs of Greece are covered by lignite. Thus, 85% of lignite is used in the production of electricity, while the remaining 15% is used in the production of bricks (~1%); lignite powder is used in metallurgy (%), it is also used as fuel (~1%), in the production of nitrogenous fertilizers, etc.

Lignitefired power plants which historically served base load have diminished in importance in Greece''s power generation mix, largely driven by the implementation of Directive 2010/75 EC on industrial emissions and the application of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). In 2019, for example, the capacity factor of the 11 units still in operation only ranged between 5% and 31%. The
