“…Germany's experience demonstrates the necessity of phasing out declining heavy industries, including mining, in a sustainable manner [93,94] rather than prolonging their existence. While acknowledging the difficulty of these processes in Poland, the successful examples of other countries facing similar situations suggest that the benefits of such transitions outweigh the challenges.…”

This article addresses one of the contemporary economy’s most challenging endeavors: the energy transition. Specifically, the aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of Poland’s energy transition process between 2004 and 2021. A comprehensive approach is employed to analyze Poland’s energy transition process, focusing on the effectiveness of implementation through the Energy Transition Effectiveness Index. This methodology incorporates four dimensions, namely energy security, economic considerations, climate impact, and social aspects, each characterized by 22 sub-indices. The research methodology employs a two-tiered approach based on the multi-criteria decision making methodology. The EDAS method is utilized to determine the indices’ values, while the CRITIC, equal weights, and statistical variance methods and Laplace’s criterion are employed to ascertain sub-indices values and dimension weights, particularly useful for decision making under uncertainty. Moreover, the relationship between these indices, the Energy Transition Effectiveness Index, and Poland’s Gross Domestic Product is explored. By evaluating Poland’s energy transition effectiveness from 2004 to 2021 and comparing the results with other European Union countries, it becomes evident that the effectiveness varies over time. Despite encountering economic and social challenges during the energy sector’s transformation, Poland exhibits positive progress in its energy transition efforts, outperforming certain European Union counterparts. However, there is a pressing need to intensify efforts to curtail emissions and enhance renewable energy utilization. The European Union’s support and coordination are deemed crucial in facilitating these endeavors, alongside fostering the wider adoption of best practices among member states. The developed methodology stands as a valuable tool for ongoing evaluation of transformation processes across European Union nations.

“…35 Coal mining in Germany has been a major economic driver in supporting German industrialization for centuries, coal mining has played an important role in Germany's socio-economic history 36 . It not only boosted its industrialization but also supported its recovery after World War II 37 . Mineral resources played an important role in the European economy and the sustainable supply of mineral resources played such an important role that various policies were made for example, mining, development and trade policies, environmental protection, and securing land and mineral wealth for the sustainability of future generations 38 .…”

<div><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left"><tbody><tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p class="AbstractText">Indonesia has enacted a number of regulations dealing with issues of mining governance, and governance. However, the issuance of these various laws and regulations has resulted in illegal mining crimes resulting in environmental damage. The purpose of this study is to analyze sustainable mining governance policies in Indonesia, Africa and Germany. This research method uses a doctrinal legal approach. Resources have been compiled through an examination of mineral and coal mining laws and regulations, governance and environmental governance regulations, as well as reports from various authorities on the same subject. The results of this study show how Indonesia's previous mining law policies recognized local governments as the authority for licensing and monitoring mining activities. This policy was revoked based on the latest governance regulations and had an impact on the vacancy in monitoring mining activities at the district/city level, as a result of this vacancy there was environmental damage due to illegal mining and bad mining activities so that it was necessary to strengthen government policies in monitoring mineral and coal mining. Mining governance policies in Indonesia, Africa and Germany are currently starting to lead to environmental sustainability.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></div>

With the development of coal resource extraction and wellbore construction proceeding towards deeper depths, the stability of drilling wellbore structures has become increasingly severe, even posing a barrier to the use of drilling method technology in deep wellbore construction. To address this issue, this study raised an optimized constraints method involving pre-throwing cement slurry to the bottom before wellbore decent, altering bottom constraints. Firstly, the critical depth and instability criterion of this optimized method was derived by catastrophe theory. Subsequently, the role of single-factor and multi-factor sensitivity analyses on critical depth was discussed. The engineering effects of optimized constraint methods were contrasted and examined in several drilling projects. Finally, the characteristic values of real engineering were computed using numerical techniques and ABAQUS2020 software, and the efficacy of optimization approaches was examined and validated. The results revealed that the critical depth increased by 41.39 ± 5%. The influence factors described in order of the degree were the counterweight water height, the elastic modulus, the thickness of the wellbore, and the self-weight of the wellbore, sequentially. The conclusion on structural stability between the numerical calculation solution and theoretical calculation solution was completely the same. The optimized constraints method can effectively improve the stability of the wellbore structure.
