TERRA NOVA BIOSPHEREBELT
terra nova is the development of a landscape characterised by open-cast lignite mining into an entirely new type of landscape setting – into the Rhein-Erft Energy Park – which combines the ecological, sustainable, social and economic aspects of power generation, landscape utilisation and nature development in a whole new way, and demonstrates prospects for the time after coal for this landscape setting. This unique project involves the cooperation of the mining company RWE, the district of Rhein-Erft and the towns of Bedburg, Bergheim and Elsdorf. terra nova encompasses an area of 35 km2 and is being developed on the basis of a master plan generated in 2008.
