That last chart down the bottom was IMO produced by J-Power back in the KCoal days of around 2012. I can't find the reference directly linking that chart to J-Power - maybe someone here can?

In any case, the chart clearly highlights Coldry as the clear frontrunner of all the various drying techs - Coldry being the opposite to all the "heat & squeeze" techs that consume huge amounts of energy. Coldry's waste heat utilisation is king IMO & I reckon the Australian government/J-Power, Kawasaki etc will want Coldry demonstrated in the LV within the stipulated 4 years. ECT have been heavily hinting at the hydrogen potential in recent months.

Imagine that - a 170ktpa Coldry plant in low sovereign risk Victoria with a hydrogen focus...& a Coldry/Matmor plant in booming India with a steel focus...at the same time! Australian/Indian/Japanese Government involvement. The market would do cartwheels over that! All imo of course.
