Karakansky Globoky is a proposed coal mine expansion planned for the Belovo district in the Kemerovo Oblast, Russia. The mine is also known as the Karakansky-Zapadny coal mine expansion.
The Karakansky coal mine is the third stage of Karakan Invest's energy project, lying near the village of Evtino, Kemerovo Oblast (district) Russia. The Karakansky-Zapadny coal mine and the Karakansky coal mine in the complex are operating.[1]
Location
The Karakansky Globoky coal mine would sit adjacent to the existing coal mines in the complex, very close to the village of Evtino, 35km from Belovo.
Background
Karakan Invest is a group of companies made up of coal producer Belovskaya Mine, logistics company Belcommerce, engineering company Promishlennik and the trading company Karakan Energo Trade.[2] Around 2/3 of the coal Karakan Invest extracts is sold on the domestic market with the rest being exported.[3]
Karakan Invest is creating the Karakansky coal energy cluster merging the extraction, processing and generating capacities of the Karakansky coal deposits including underground coal gasification on the site and production of coal to liquid fuel.[4]
The mine plan originally anticipated a 7 million tonnes per annum project across the three mines,[2] but according to the IEA, the project has scaled back to 3 million tonnes.[5]
