Description
The Carbon Farming Model for Rehabilitated Coal Mine Land assessed the potential to transform rehabilitated coal mine land into productive landscapes that support biomass production, renewable energy generation, soil regeneration, carbon sequestration and community enterprise development. The project demonstrated that rehabilitated mine land can successfully support high-biomass species, particularly when supported by organic amendments such as biochar and digestate. It provides a practical and scalable approach for turning post-mining land from a rehabilitation liability into an environmental, economic and social asset.

South African underground sections average about 60 000 t a month, against 130 000 to 160 000 t for single pass bolter miner units on continuous haulage, while the better sections target 1.4 to 1.6 Mt a year. Australian longwalls deliver 5 to 7 Mt a year from one face, compared with 3 to 5 Mt at the two local wall operations.
