Coal Mines in Vietnam: Geological Conditions and Their Influence on Production Sustainability Indicators

The high growth rate that the Vietnamese economy has been demonstrating in recent years largely depends on the use of the country’s fossil fuel reserves, which form the foundation of its fuel and energy sector. The country will have to rely on coal as one of the key energy sources for a long time in...
