Reserves are generally defined as the amount of resources that are economically exploitable with current technology. When there is a international market, then this generally depends on the price. But an international market is not needed to estimate the economic viability of resources. For example,

they explain geological methods but not the economics methodology. For example if I understand the figure for Germany right they are implying that Germany would burn over 1000 Mt of lignite a year (36 thousand million tonnes reserves but coal phase out finishes 2038) - but that cannot be right? Am I

which says "Price changes therefore can have a large impact on the classification of proven reserves". But I cannot understand how BGR estimated the price of lignite, as it is only transported a few hundred metres from the mine to the power plant. So as is not traded across Germany how do they
841: 1141:
I don't doubt the geological expertise of BGR to calculate RESOURCES, But as RESERVES depend on the price I dispute the lignite reserve figures here. Because I cannot find anything on the BGR website to say what lignite prices (and carbon prices in the case of Germany) they used in their

It's not our job to speculate on the reliability of specific statements in sources that are overall considered reliable. If there are other sources that doubt those claims, then we should discuss them too.

miscalculating or misunderstanding something? Perhaps they are implying the price will go down as each power station shuts therefore reserves will go down?
1335: 226: 1158:
extraction of lignite can simply be dependent on the economics of power production from local power plants if the lignite cannot be easily transported. --

estimate the price and thus the size of the German lignite reserve? And for other countries what prices did they use to estimate their reserves?

What you say is true. But as we have no idea where BGR got their lignite prices from they might just have unreliably guessed them.

I agree with you that BGR is a very reliable source for geology. But I dispute it is a reliable source for economics.
