About greenvalleycoal.com
greenvalleycoal.com is the web presence of Götz Bartkowiak, a freelance consultant for geology and mining based in Germany. The service portfolio covers exploration, surveying, mining planning and economic evaluation of solid mineral deposits, quarries and mines, as well as the digitalisation of raw materials industry operations. This includes photogrammetry, geological modelling, extraction and production planning, and the creation of a digital twin from existing and newly acquired data such as geological boreholes. Another focus is the economic evaluation of raw materials projects and operations using discounted cash flow modelling, as well as project work and project management, including decarbonisation studies with CCS and CCU. In addition, the consultant offers sales, support and training for Carlson Software, plus knowledge transfer through training courses, seminars and lectures. The industry expertise is based on more than twenty years of international experience in the raw materials industry, including more than twenty years abroad, among other places in Johannesburg and Paris, and ranges from coal mining to rock salt and limestone extraction.
