RE: The implications of new UK coal mines for greenhouse gas emissions 1. Coal Mining Companies and the substitution error Proponents of the substitution error include West Cumbria Mining and Banks Group between whom there are two active applications to open new coal mines in the UK: Dewley Hill, Newcastle (Banks Group), Woodhouse Colliery (West Cumbria Mining). Examples of the use of the substitution error by these companies include: This substitution of imported coal, will result in significant carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions savings from the shipping that is currently associated with long distance imports to the UK and rest of Europe. West Cumbria Mining, Planning Statement, Woodhouse Colliery 2020 p2 The calculations do not include the end use of the minerals [coal and fireclay] as it is assumed that they would be used (with similar or possibly greater emissions) in a do-nothing scenario (without the proposed developments) Banks Group, Dewley Hill Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Feb 2019 (Wardell Armstrong) 2.5.1 "...If that need [for coal] is met by UK businesses, then that's far better for the environment than importing it from abroad." Banks Group,  HYPERLINK "https://news.sky.com/story/government-failing-to-show-leadership-over-plans-for-new-coal-mines-11939748" \n _blankSky News re Druridge Bay decision Feb 2020 2. Planning Authorities & the substitution error Durham County Council's Planning Inspector accepted the substitution error when recommending approval of the Bradley West opencast coal mine proposal. They claimed that the mine would provide 'carbon savings', a conclusion founded on the substitution error. Cumbria County Council made the decision to disregard the end-use combustion emissions from a 50-year coal mine in its decision-making, based on an uncritical adoption of the substitution error, and concluded the proposal was 'very likely to be carbon neutral' and as such, approved this project (which is now under review again). 3. Government Ministers & the substitution error Obviously, from a coal and carbon emissions reduction point of view, it makes sense to have a locally based coal source rather than shipping it in a very costly way halfway around the world.
