With Europe’s fossil fuel industry in serious trouble, a new report finds that sustainable jobs are the future for the continent.
In coal-heavy regions like Poland, Greece and Bulgaria, jobs in the coal industry are becoming harder to find. The mining sector is shrinking which is threatening many livelihoods.
In Silesia, Poland, 15,000 to 18,000 workers in mining-related companies are at risk of losing their jobs by 2030 due to the inefficiency of the mining process and EU and national climate policy. 2,200 coal jobs in Greece are also under imminent threat.
The impacts even go beyond employment numbers. Local communities in Western Macedonia, a region in Greece, will suffer income losses of some €3.1 for every €1 taken off lignite-fired activity (lignite is a form of coal with a carbon content around 25 to 35 per cent).

JAKARTA, April 29 (Reuters) - U.S. company Air Products and Chemicals Inc is “prepared” to invest $10 billion in Indonesia, including in a project involving the state oil company and a coal firm, the secretary general of Indonesia’s National Energy Council said.
“Air Products has sent a letter to the government of Indonesia. They are prepared to invest $10 billion,” Djoko Siswanto told CNBC Indonesia on Thursday. He said the first $2 billion would be invested in a project with state coal miner PT Bukit Asam and state oil company PT Pertamina.
Bukit Asam has already partnered with Air Products on a coal gasification plant worth $2.1 billion, which is expected to start commercial operation in 2024. Air Products could not immediately be reached for comment. (Reporting by Bernadette Christina Munthe; Writing by Fathin Ungku Editing by Ed Davies)

BEIJING, April 29 (Reuters) - The Chinese capital city of Beijing is conducting a check on data centres involved in cryptocurrency mining to better understand their impact on energy consumption, according to sources and a document seen by Reuters.
The Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology on Tuesday sent an “emergency notice” to the city’s data centre operators to report if they’re involved in bitcoin and other cryptocurrency mining businesses.
If so, they need to report the amount, and share, of power consumed by cryptocurrency mining, according to the notice.
An official of the bureau, who declined to be identified, said the probe was directed by city authorities, adding that recipients of the notice include China’s three biggest telecoms operators.
