Coal fines represent a major environmental liability for coal producers and also carry a significant ongoing maintenance cost:
Billions of tonnes of coal fines are stored in slurry ponds around the world.
New arising fines continue to be generated at coal mines around the world, due to inefficiencies in coal processing methods.
There is a significant ongoing […]
White Energy also has the following additional areas of business focus:
Expansion of the BCB technology into new coal related applications
Identification of valuable mining tenements with natural resources and minerals or sub-bituminous coal reserves
Expansion of the BCB Technology
White Energy is currently undertaking research and development efforts to identify and pursue opportunities in expanding the application […]
The upgraded coal produced by the White Energy’s BCB process has the following characteristics:
Characteristics
Description
Higher energy content
increased energy content as compared to low rank feedstock by between 30% and 200% (depending on the original moisture content of the coal)
Reduced CO2 emissions
in comparison to sub-bituminous feedstock, WEC Coal has lower CO2 emissions and other pollutants at […]
White Energy’s BCB technology upgrades sub-bituminous coals through a relatively simple thermal drying process followed by physical and chemical stabilisation through a novel binderless briquetting process. White Energy’s BCB technology has been shown to be cost and operationally superior to competing processes and enables the commercial exploitation of a large number of low quality, […]
The BCB process was developed by a consortia lead by the Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and other leading coal industry players.
White Energy has been central in developing the BCB technology from a concept technology at the Newcastle pilot plant to a commercial business operating around the world. White Energy continues to […]
Global economic growth is closely correlated to energy consumption, with total world consumption of marketed energy projected to increase significantly in the next twenty years. The largest projected increase in energy demand is for the non-OECD economies, with energy demand from China and India expected to double in the next 20 years. China […]
