By 2030, it is estimated that from 54 000 to 112 000 direct jobs may be lost. Peat and oil shale sectors for energy are smaller than coal sector in Europe. Direct and indirect peat related jobs are estimated to be nearly 12 000 in the countries of focus, while oil shale related are nearly 7 000 in Estonia, the only Member State with such activities. With no concrete plans on oil shale use and limited interdependency of direct jobs to peat as a fuel, their impact on jobs appears very limited. }, title = {Recent trends in EU coal, peat and oil shale regions}, type = {Other}, url = {}, doi = {10.2760/510714 (online),10.2760/975966 (print)} }
