We shouldn't set too high an expectation for ECT's role in hydrogen production from Victorian brown coal by the Japanese as they will want to use their own technologies where possible.When the Japanese last came to Victoria to upgrade brown coal into crude oil (1988 to 1992), they used a coal-to-oil technology which had been proven in Germany and South Africa and they brought their own Japanese-built equipment, including coal drying equipment. The steam tube dryer manufacturer (TSK) was a partner in the $1.0B project which succeeded technically but failed commercially.
