It focuses on repurposing end-of-life underground coal mines by deploying emerging renewable energy and circular economy technologies to promote sustainable local economic growth and maximise the number of green, quality jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve this goal, five competitive advantages of underground coal mines will be leveraged: (1) mine water for geothermal&nbsp;energy&nbsp;and production of&nbsp;green hydrogen; (2) connections to the grid that can be adapted to inject the electricity produced; (3) large waste heap areas for installing photovoltaic\/wind; (4) deep infrastructure suitable for unconventional pumped hydro storage using dense fluids; and (5) fine coal waste for recycling into dense fluids, soil substitutes for restoration and rare earths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the primary project outcomes will be to provide mining companies with two innovative business plans: a&nbsp;<strong>Virtual Power Plant<\/strong>&nbsp;where the energy produced will be sold to the grid, used to power electro-intensive industries or to develop eco-industrial parks, and a&nbsp;<strong>Green Hydrogen Plant<\/strong>&nbsp;where renewable hydrogen will be made by electrolysis of mine water and electricity from renewable sources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our purpose now is to involve stakeholders (policy-makers, including EC; private investors; industry; academia; civil society; citizens\u2019 associations; and trade unions\/social partners) interested in the project&#8217;s results and developments by regularly informing through a biannual newsletter and via a continuous consultation process to know their ideas, concerns and proposals about the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can subscribe to the biannual newsletter&nbsp;<\/strong>by filling in the following form:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/greenjobsproject.uniovi.es\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">Contact \u2013 GreenJOBS Project<\/mark><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can submit your&nbsp;ideas, concerns and proposals<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;below<\/strong>.
