Importance for industry:
The hydro-borehole technology (HBM) does not compete with the currently used classical methods (opencast and underground), but it can be a real and the only alternative for the development of deposits that cannot be exploited with the above-mentioned classical methods. The interest of European lignite producers (PGE GiEK, Severočeské Doly) confirms the importance and significance of the project's assumptions for industry and gives the opportunity to disseminate the project's results among leading European i
