Coal, Sub-bituminous (also lignite or brown coal) is mined in the 
Koeflach-Voitsberg area (Styria) and until 1995 also in the Hausruck 
mountains (Upper Austria). Preparations to discontinue mining 
activities are currently being made in the Salzach coal basin, which 
used to be extremely important. Sub-bituminous coal is mainly used in 
thermal power plants and, to a much lesser extent, for heating in 
private households. In 1993, 1,682,069 t of sub-bituminous coal were 
mined in Austria.
