Lignite, or brown coal, is used in power generation, but it is uneconomic to transport and acts as a significant source of greenhouse gases. The conversion of lignite to liquid fuel and char provides an economic source of fuel and the generation of a char which also lowers the carbon footprint associated with lignite processing. Lignite-derived char has potential to act as an agent for both promoting plant growth and improving soil health. This project will do much to promote the use of chars, from a lignite source, which will increase the economic viability of mining brown coal.

褐煤或褐煤用于发电，但运输不经济，并且是温室气体的重要来源。褐煤向液体燃料和炭的转化提供了经济的燃料来源和炭的产生，这也降低了与褐煤加工相关的碳足迹。褐煤衍生的炭具有作为促进植物生长和改善土壤健康的试剂的潜力。该项目将大大促进来自褐煤来源的木炭的使用，这将提高开采褐煤的经济可行性。
