Energy-technology conversion of brown coal of Balakhta coal deposit: innovative approach to energy efficiency in the region

Project of creation of energy-technology complex for environment-friendly wasteless conversion of inexpensive 3Bgrade brown coal of Kansk-Achinsk coal basins Balakhta coal deposit into mid-temperature coke with generation of heat and electricity is proposed. Creation of the complex will provide increase of rate of return from 1 ton of brown coal, stimulate economic growth of the region and strengthen competitive positions of domestic ferrous metallurgy in local and international markets via decrease of operation costs
