Kışlaköy Coal Mine or Afşin Elbistan Mine[1] is a lignite mine in Elbistan coalfield and is the largest operating lignite mine in Turkey.[2]
The Afşin Elbistan mine (also called Kışlaköy coal mine) is open pit and can produce 5 million tonnes a year.[3] It feeds the Afşin-Elbistan power stations.
Formerly Çöllolar coal mine also supplied a local power station.
According to a 2019 report to JORC standards there are 950 million tons of reserves, with the average energy value of coal of 1,145 Kcal/kg.[4] Seam depths are 50 – 175 m, moisture content 53%, ash content 20% and sulfur content 1.2%.[5]
Shura suggests that people whose jobs are at risk of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism could be offered retraining or early retirement.[6]: 10–13
