The Bełchatów Coal Mine was the leading fossil fuel extraction project in Poland in terms of lifetime emissions as of 2021. In operation since 1955, emissions of nearly 4.7 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent can be attributed to the open-pit coal mine. The coal mine is also the biggest polluter in the European Union by annual CO2 emissions.
