Greece boasts lignite resources of 4.7 billion tonnes and 3.0 billion tonnes of economically workable reserves. The most important deposits are located in the north of the country at Ptolemais - Amynteon and Florina (1.5 billion tonnes) which contribute around 80 % of production. Other deposits lie at Drama (900 million tonnes) and at Elassona (170 million tonnes), as well as in the south at Megalopolis (225 million tonnes). There is also a large peat deposit of about 4 billion cubic metres at Philippi in the northern part of Greece (Eastern Macedonia). Only 30 % of the total lignite reserves have been extracted to date and remaining reserves are good for over 40 years at current production rates
