First, trees and other vegetation are cleared from the area, and the top layers of the unconsolidated soil (topsoil) are removed and stored. Then, the coal seam is exposed by drilling through the hard strata above it.
Afterward, various steps are involved in the production such as fragmenting or blasting the hard strata with explosives, removing the blasted material, cleaning the top of the coal seam, and fragmenting the coal seam. With this, the loose coal is loaded onto haulage vehicles and transported.
The project economic analysis provided in the report discusses a Germany-based plant:
