Coldry: Black Coal Equivalent (BCE)

Coldry is a black coal equivalent, meaning its net energy value is similar in range to that of many black coals.
What takes nature millenia, Coldry achieves in just hours, transforming wet coal into a product suitable for use in black coal-fired power stations.

Key Features
Exponentially enhanced net energy content ? increased up to 285% for 60% moisture Victorian La Trobe Valley Lignite
The self-ignition tendencies of typical Lignite is greatly reduced to that of normal Black Coals
Accumulation of up to 90% less Ash than typical black coal, increasing operational efficiencies and reducing removal costs.

Immediately deployable in existing brown coal boilers (10% to 20% of total energy mix), decreasing coal requirements (7% to 14%), reducing emissions (6% to 11%) and reducing ash accumulation (2% to 4%)

Provides Business Case drivers for introduction of modernised supercritical boilers, decreasing coal requirement (up to 48%), reducing CO2 emissions (up to 40%) and reducing ash accumulation (up to 32%)

Retains the CTL and Gasification advantages of lower rank coals, without the complexities associated with high moisture levels


Stable
Our Black Coal Equivalent is stable and will not reabsorb moisture or spontaneously combust.
