About Coldry
When applied to lignite and some sub-bituminous coals, the mechanically simple Coldry process produces a black coal equivalent (BCE) in the form of pellets that are stable, easily stored, can be transported and which can be of equal or better energy value than many black coals, whilst significantly reducing CO2 emissions.
About Matmor
The Matmor process is positioned to revolutionise primary iron making thanks to the design of our simple, low cost, low emission, patented Matmor retort using cheaper, alternative raw materials.
