Abstract
Despite the trend of a transition to “clean” energy, the coal industry still plays a significant role in the global economy. The constant need for raw materials and energy for production leads to an environmental crisis—an increase in the content of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, especially in the mining regions. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of the carbon footprint on the environment and to study ways to reduce the negative impact of coal mining enterprises on the ecology. To analyze the chosen topic, the available reviews and research articles on the impact of the carbon footprint of coal mining enterprises, and the ways to reduce it and restore the biodiversity of wastelands, were used. It was found out that a complete ban on the extraction and use of coal in the industry will not lead to the desired result. The main ways to reduce the negative impact of coal mining enterprises on the environment were considered. The most promising direction for reducing the carbon footprint is the restoration of the vegetation cover by phytoremediation methods and the creation of carbon landfills in reclaimed territories in technogenically polluted coal mining regions.
