Due to the low energy value of raw brown coal, long distance transport of the fuel was not economic. As a result, the State Electricity Commission of Victoria used German technology to produce hard briquettes from Latrobe Valley brown coal. The initial plant was established in the 1920s at Yallourn, with a second opening at Morwell in the 1940s. These plants crushed, dried and pressed brown coal to extract the
1. To provide for the carrying out of Victoria''s programme of research and development into converting brown coal into liquid fuels and related products. 2. To establish the Victorian Brown Coal Council as a statutory body to be responsible for carrying out policies in this respect. Clause 1 is the usual citation and commencement provision.
Utilization of Victorian Brown CoalFuture Prospects AusIMM. Victoria has an extensive brown coal resource, 202,000 Mt, of which 43,300 Mt is regarded as readily recoverable. This brown coal is located principally in the Latrobe Valley as thick seams and is being extracted at low cost primarily to support baseload electrical power generation.
Jan 01, 1991#0183;#32;The final operation in the pilot plant of the BCL Process, Run9 was successfully finished in October, 1990. The BCL process has been developed to fit for the Victorian brown coal liquefaction. The plant was designed for the capacity of 50 tons of per day.

Jun 17, 2019#0183;#32;Breaking brown: Gas and coal plant breakdowns in Victoria Victorias brown coal fired power stations suffer from frequent breakdowns and Loy Yang A is the responsible for largest number of breakdowns on the National Energy Market, since monitoring began in December 2017, and Loy Yang As Unit 2 is the most unreliable unit on the grid.
The project will involve mining brown coal in the Latrobe Valley, building a gasification plant that uses coal to produce hydrogen, trucking the gas to the Port of Hastings where it will be liquefied and shipped to Japan the project is called the Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain (HESC).

Brown coal is not currently widely traded due to the challenges in exporting the raw resource. ''Run of mine'' brown coal from Victoria''s reserves in the Latrobe Valley is reactive and has a high moisture content, which makes it unsafe and uneconomic to export without processing (drying and stabilising). Other opportunities for brown coal
Last week, the Brumby Government trumpeted a new brown coal plant for Victoria, just three days before the release of Professor Garnaut''s draft report. In his press release, Mr Batchelor said the
17/8/2016#0183;#32;Brown coal still makes up a large percentage of Victorias energy supply, but the shift to clean energy has already begun and is gathering pace. Victorias renewable energy target is enshrined in legislation and aims to power Victoria with 40 per cent renewable energy by 2025, and 50 per cent by 2030 we are already on target to greatly exceed that goal.

On the other hand, as Dr Finkel has noted, combinedcycle gas power plants are more directly comparable to coalfired plants, as both are required to run for longer hours, providing baseload power.
