Bulgaria has retained its strategic advantage in sustainable metal extraction using modern methods, said Deputy Minister of Energy Lyubomira Gancheva during the conference "Metals as a strategic asset for independence and industrial leadership of the EU. Bulgaria's contribution to sustainable growth", organized by the Bulgarian Association of the Metallurgical Industry (BAMI) on Friday

According to Gancheva, the topic of the conference is timely and relevant both from the point of view of the geopolitical uncertainty we are in and the global competition.

"For many years, Europe lived with the belief that if it relied only on clean technologies, this would ensure the necessary economic growth, but it became clear that current trends impose new needs", she pointed out. Gancheva believes that sustainable development cannot be achieved without the mining industry achieving sustainable development.

The low-carbon economy is a strategic goal, but it must be realized that it poses serious challenges to the entire system and a balance must be sought, the deputy minister said.
