Land use
We carefully manages the environment around our power plants and mines.
We view lignite mining and the re-cultivation of the mined land as two phases of the same operation. Our ongoing re-cultivation programmes restore areas affected by open-cast lignite mining.
Re-creating a beautiful environment
The re-cultivation programme in Lausitz in Germany is one example of the restoration work carried out by Vattenfall. Since its start in the 19th century, lignite mining and other human activities in Lausitz have considerably changed the landscape. Through our re-cultivation programmes, we aim to create an attractive, post-industrial Lausitz landscape. We want to establish sustainable agriculture, forestry and water management, as well as a desirable level of biodiversity and a harmonic landscape.
