Considering the relatively high temperature in deep mines (for example, the abandoned coal mine in Xuzhou at 1000 m deep is over 45 °C), the deep abandoned mines has been considered as good potential low-temperature geothermal reservoirs [1]. The idea of using geothermal energy from mines was proposed as early as in the 1980 s …

Coal miners use two primary methods to remove coal. Surface mining is often used when coal is less than 200 feet underground. In surface mining, large machines remove the topsoil and layers of rock known as overburden to expose coal seams. Mountaintop removal is a form of surface mining where the tops of mountains are …
