Summary:Reserves of brown coal in the Czech Republic are, in the long term view, still recognized as the main domestic fuel and energy resource. The biggest issues, concerning the use of these domestic resources, are, according to the authors, the existence of the "Resolution of the Government of the Czech Republic No. 444" of 30 October, 1991 together with the new State Energy Concept, which was approved in May this year, and which states that the CR will export three out of four key fuels and energy resources, namely oil, gas and nuclear fuel. Brown coal is, therefore, the only domestic energy resource that allows a long-term guarantee leading towards reducing the energy dependence.
