MASTERMINE project launch

EUROPEAN MINING IN THE GREEN AND DIGITAL ERA

The international Mastermine programme entered the design phase at the end of 2022.
The project is being carried out under Horizon Europe, the global research and innovation framework programme (2021-2027). The aim of the project is to create technological and methodological solutions for sustainable and innovative development of the mining industry.
The project involves a consortium of 22 parties (including 2 from Poland):

Project budget - 13 840 490 €
Grant – 11 963 526 €
GIG and JSW S.A. budget - 1 130 988 €
GIG and JSW S.A. grant– 962 309 €

The project is being carried out at the KWK 'Pniówek' site. The involvement of the Polish partners in the project (JSW S.A. and GIG) will focus on the development of an intelligent network supporting methane drainage system of the coal mine. As part of the work a network concept will be developed covering both hardware needs and the necessary software. The project should conclude with the modernisation of the existing methane drainage system to enable it to be controlled from the surface or to operate autonomously based on data from a suitably developed sensor system.
