摘要:The purpose of this study is to calculate the externalities
for the agriculture and the agri-food industry of
planned open-cast lignite mining on the Oczkowice reserve.
The mine’s area of impact extends to 7 districts of south-west
Wielkopolska. The study envisages 2 options for the depression
crater’s impact (mine dewatering) on crop production
and 2 scenarios of losses in livestock production. Losses due
to unrealized production in the agricultural and agri-food sectors
within a 100-year time horizon (50 years of mining and
50 years for hydrological recovery) are estimated to range
from PLN 22.4 billion to PLN 174 billion. Externals costs, defined
as lost profits, are estimated to range from PLN 5.1 billion
to PLN 39.5 billion. Compared to the value of lignite
from the Oczkowice reserve, the level of external costs and
production losses in the agricultural and agri-food sectors
make open-cast lignite mining at that location an economically
unviable project.
