Popis: The paper deals with the exploitation of coal in the Jiu Valley, starting from the mining tradition and the future of coal. On the other hand, the shortcomings of the coal exploitation are looked over, which have focused the public’s attention many times through the collective injuries produced in the Jiu Valley. The stages of restructuring the Hunedoara Energy Complex and all the challenges in its evolution after 1989 are analyzed in terms of economic aspects. Dynamic phenomena in coal exploitation are major hazards and safety concerns related to methane present in longwall face goafs. Effective management of methane from coal mines can also have the benefit of contributing to reduced or minimized GHG emissions and to reduce explosion risk by preventing the occurrence of explosive mixtures and by rapidly diluting them to safe concentrations. In this respect, the possibilities of evaluation and optimization of the ventilation system by computerized methods were reviewed.
