The history of coal in Turkey
Turkey's first discovery of coal, coal mining has long Mehmet Ereğli in 1829. In 1848 the first actual production of "Treasure-i Hassa" took place rented and managed by a basin under the Galata sarraflarına working with a very primitive 40-50 thousand tons of coal produced. With the beginning of the Crimean War the British government passed, and in 1864 transferred to the transfer of a mineral nazırlığı Deryası'na captain-established. This circuit has been great development in the basin, the basin boundaries of the train and tram lines have been identified furnished, coke, briquettes, consumer installations such as fire brick and cement factories established and regular increases in production in 1907 reached 735 000 tonnes. 1. Activity decreased again during World War II at the end of the war was occupied by the French in the basin. In 1920, production reached 570 000 tonnes under this administration.
Bed of anthracite coal with Turkey was not found. Lignite coal is the most common type. Turkey is a country very rich brown and has a total of 8.4 billion tons of lignite reserves. However, this reserve is less than the value of H heat produced lignites are generally used in thermal power plants.
Coal beds of various depths and Eregli, Zonguldak coal basin, the basin of Turkey's most important. Of the total 1.35 billion tons of coal reserves stop.
In addition, although the low calorific value, though, in the field of electrical energy Afsin-Elbistan is located in Turkey's largest lignite reserves.
