The use of fossil energy sources depends decisively on the costs of their production. A primary role is played by the cost of extracting these energy commodities. The goal of this study is a determination of the unit costs for the production of mineral oil, natural gas and coal from the currently used deposits and an estimate of the unit costs of extraction from future deposits.
