Grants for brown coal research

摘要

Several research projects related to brown coal have received funding from Brown Coal Innovation Australia (BCIA). Tis month BCIA announced grants for the assessment of hydrogen production and export from Victoria, and for research aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions from brown-coal-fred powerstations by increasing the efciency of a direct injection coal engine. The hydrogen project, to be carried out by HRL Developments in association with Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries, has received $300,000. It will examine the technical and economic merits of various options for producing hydrogen from Latrobe Valley brown coal, at both pilot and commercial-scale.
