No, lignite is not energy dense enough to make it worth it. The power plants are right next to the mines, to make it econonomical. Those power plants are among the largest in the world in terms of electricity production. There is a bit of exports, but most of it is for soil improvment.
I knew they mined a bunch of lignite but I was under the impression they exported most of it.
