A large-scale coal-to-fuel and petrochemical project in Australia producing oil, diesel, methanol, and syngas using advanced low-emission conversion technologies. For full technical details and investment information, please refer to the Description tab.
| Country | Australia |
|---|---|
| Stage | Development |
| Commodity | Coal, Hydrogen, Syngas, Urea, Methanol |
| Estimated Resource / Potential | 320 Mt proven (target 600 Mt total) |
| Partnership Model | Joint Venture (JV) |
The project, located in Australia, is designed to convert coal into fuel and petrochemical products, focusing on advanced technologies for transforming coal into oil, syngas, and high-value petrochemicals. Using modern coal-to-oil and coal-to-chemicals processes, up to 355 liters of oil can be produced from each tonne of dry coal.• The resulting products include light crude oil, diesel fuel, and high-value petrochemicals.
• The processes are characterized by high efficiency, low energy consumption, and minimal emissions.
• The project enables the production of hydrogen-rich syngas, which can be injected into existing gas pipelines.
• It also allows for the production of methane, urea, methanol, and high-value chemical fertilizers.
Key Highlights:
Proven reserves: 320 million tons of sub-bituminous coal and 190 million tons of lignite (open-cut mining), with a target of reaching 600 million tons.
Total potential resources: Over 850 million tons.
Final products: Light oil, diesel, methanol, urea, syngas, and other high-value petrochemicals.
High yield: Up to 355 liters of oil per ton of dry coal, with low energy consumption and minimal emissions.
Infrastructure: The region is well-equipped with roads, electricity, telecommunications, ports, airports, and an experienced industrial workforce.
Development potential: Capability to generate power from produced gas and integrate solar energy in the area.
By-products: Coking coal, bauxite, geopolymer, kaolin, and alumina.
Economic significance: Contributes to Australia’s domestic fuel supply (equivalent to 600 million barrels of oil) and remains profitable even at lower oil prices.
Vision:
To transform one of Australia’s largest coal reserves into a center for sustainable energy and chemical production, emphasizing efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Partnership Model:
