Coldry Technology address at Coal Tech 2008

29 September 2008: Environmental Clean Technologies Limited (ASX:ESI) advises that Chief Executive, Kos Galtos is presenting the following paper at the Coal Tech 2008 conference in Queensland today.

Coal Tech 2008 is bringing together all the major coal producers, power generators, petroleum firms, engineers in addition to state and federal government representatives to gain an up to the minute understanding of the latest developments with clean coal initiatives in Australia.

Mr Galtos will contribute to the debate on new technology developments and what the Coldry Technology means for the power industry in terms of assisting each of them to economically meet their carbon emission reduction targets.

He said “I am pleased to have been invited by the industry to present to this key strategic forum with an audience of decision makers and key stakeholders in the resources industry. The acknowledgement of the significance of Coldry as an innovative and commercial technology demonstrates the Company’s pre-eminence in the brown coal arena.”

For further information please contact Chief Executive, Kos Galtos on 03 9684 0800

Cleaning Up Brown Coal

Environmental Clean Technologies Limited

What is ‘Brown Coal’?

  • Lignite, often referred to as brown coal

  • Considered the lowest rank of coal

  • Characteristics between coal & peat, typical;

  • Inherent moisture as high as 66%

  • Ash from 6% to 19%

  • Carbon around 60%

  • Heat content from 10 to 20 MJ/kg

  • High volatile matter content

  • Making it easier to convert to gas & liquid products

  • Susceptible to spontaneous combustion

  • Transport & storage issues limit trade on world market

  • Used almost exclusively for power generation, in power stations constructed very close to mines

  • CO2 emissions much higher than black coal plant

  • Continued power plant operation politically contentious.
