Overview

Comparative analysis reveals aligned decarbonization strategies but divergent timelines in coal regions, highlighting the need for targeted rehabilitation support.

Key Points

  • Strategic decarbonization roadmaps align across regions, yet target dates differ with Rhenish aiming for 2038 and Western Macedonia pursuing lignite phase-out by 2028.
  • Assessment across five European Union toolkits reveals shared governance and welfare plans, though Western Macedonia faces delays in environmental rehabilitation.
  • Focusing on hydrogen technologies and power plant repurposing supports sustainable socioeconomic transitions across coal-dependent European mining territories.
