“In terms of research funding lignite at the federal and state level, it is zero. There was nothing in the last state budget. We may get some support for our operational costs. That is still not finalised; I’m reasonably confident that will happen, but there is no point in having operational funding if you can’t do any research.”
Mr Davey said the US conference delegates found it difficult to understand that Victoria has this huge resource (brown coal), which is much bigger than their resource.
“They have a different coal, sub-bituminous coal,” he said – a lower grade of coal whose properties are between those of lignite and bituminous coal, the second-highest grade of coal.
The Latrobe Valley’s brown coal was more complex than the US coal.
“There is a variety of things we can do that they can’t do. They could not understand how we would not be utilising this resource in Australia,” he said.
Mr Davey said the conference participants came from a wide variety of backgrounds, Democrats and Republicans.
“They could not get their heads around it – how much coal we have and why we would not use that coal. It seems like a natural advantage the state has,” he said.
