Coal lignite Jaenschwalde power Germany pollution carbon from PA 575x375
26 January 2021, Brandenburg, Cottbus: There is only a little water in the former Cottbus-Nord opencast lignite mine, the future Cottbus Baltic Sea. In the background, steam rises from the cooling towers of the Jänschwalde lignite-fired power plant. After a month-long stop due to drought, water has been flowing into the Cottbus Baltic Sea again since 26.01.2021. Due to the precipitation of the last few days, the Spremberg dam has reached its winter damming target. This was the prerequisite for the resumption of flooding.
