Abstract

The paper deals with the possibility of using gas from closed underground coal mines in the Ostrava-Karvinna Coalfield in the Czech Republic (OKR). It proves that by suitable closing shafts it is possible to get through the use of technical equipment a relatively significant source of energy. It considers how to use for these reasons degassing boreholes.
