The original scientific paper considers geochemical characteristics of surface and groundwaters in Velenje coal basin. The isotopic composition of dissolved inorganic carbon of groundwater from the Triassic aquifer are consistent with degradation of organic matter and dissolution of dolomite. Groundwaters from the Pliocene and Lithotamnium aquifers have isotopic composition of dissolved inorganic carbon suggestive of biogenic CO2 reduction and degradation of organic matter.

In this paper delivered at the GeoDarmstadt conference in Germany in 2010, variability of stable isotopic composition of carbon of different geological “phases” (gases, waters, solid lignite lithotypes and carbonates) in the Velenje lignite-bearing basin (Pliocene age) was presented in order to contribute to better understanding of the organic and inorganic carbon cycles and biogeochemical processes.
