Abstract
Coal extraction in Valea Jiului leaves behind large areas of affected land. Once the mining units in Valea Jiului are closed, they can be given a different destination than the original one. Both surface and underground constructions can be used for other purposes, both economic and environmental protection. One of the mining operations that is currently in the process of closure and greening is the Lupeni Mining. In this paper we will present some solutions for the reuse of the areas affected by coal extraction at the Lupeni Mine.
