Modun’s successful proposal was based on using thermal coal from its Nuurst Project and creating briquettes using a binderless coal briquetting process. Rick Dalton, the Managing Director of Modun said “this is a very significant achievement for Modun. We have been through an extensive testing process and we are excited to be the only international company selected as a preferred supplier of coal to the Mongolian Government under their Clean Air Initiative. We are also very proud to take technology developed in Australia and to employ it to help one of the fastest growing economies in the world meet their growing energy and heating demands as well as helping reduce their pollution levels.”
