“…Numerous retrofitting measures on other power plant units as well as upgrading measures designed to increase flexibility and lower minimum load have raised potentials for stabilizing the electrical grid [13]. Thanks to this, lignite-based power plants can nowadays operate on the market almost as flexibly as hard coal-fired or gas fired combined-cycle power plants, making them ideal partners for renewable energy that can balance fluctuations in the generation of wind power stations and PV systems to a sufficient degree, which energy storage systems will not be able to do for some time to come.…”

As Germany's most important, domestic fossil energy carrier, lignite plays a crucial role in electricity and heat production. Even though its share of the overall power production is decreasing due to a rising feed‐in from renewable energy sources, fossil energy carriers will go on providing base load and back‐up electricity in times when renewable energies are not able to produce enough electricity. Lignite and byproducts, which are gained during the conversion and exploitation of lignite, can be used for material utilization. The production of hydrocarbons or extraction of important raw materials are examples. It is expected, that this field of application will gain relevance in the future.
