Abstract
Introduction. Part of the economy of Sinifaná basin,
at Antioquian southwest is based on the extraction
of type B thermal coal, which is provided to local an d
regional clients. Environmental impacts associated to
extraction or production of coal (ROM) vary from
the extraction methods used in underlining mining.
Objective. To show scenarios of appropriate coal
extraction in relation to economic and environmental
aspects in order to generate proposals which lead
to a cleaner extraction of the resource. Materials
and methods. With this purpose, evaluation of the
life cycle impact is implemented, based on ISO 14040
norm, and with an approach from the basin to the
door applied to each one of extraction techniques
identified in the basin using SimaPro 8.0.4 Faculty
software, Eco-indicator 99 H V2.06/ Europe EI 99
H/A method. Results. It is known that manual
BARRETO method is the least pollutant one; but it
is also the least productive one. Hammer drill, on
its part, reported a higher production, but only 1.08
more times than the one carried out with dynamite
and not in the proportion of 3.6 more times, as it is
the of its life cycle impact respect to the crowbar
with dynamite. Crowbar with dynamite is shown as
the most viable one in terms of productivity against
impact. Conclusion. As far as 79 % can reduce ICV
generated in the artisan extraction of coal.
