NEW SOUTH WALES

New South Wales Wealth of Opportunity

New South Wales Coal Facts

Reserves of 15,300Mt

197MT produced in 2014-15

Totalcoal exports $15.7 Bill

The largest coal export facility in the world at Newcastle (211Mt capacity)

Major coal products:

High energy, low ash, low sulphur

export thermal coal

Low ash semi-soft coking coal

Prime low volatile hard coking coal

New World Coal Requirements

More countries moving to HELE (high efficiency, low emissions) coal technology for power generation

Combination of HELE technology and high quality coal significantly reduces carbon and other emissions.

Increasing demand for high quality coal to supply next generation coal-fired power stations.

New technologies to convert coal to liquid (IGCC) requires higher quality coal to reduce emissions up to 50%.

NSW typical thermal coal specifications:

• High energy content(>6000 kcal/kg)

• Low ash (<15%)

• Low sulphur (<0.6%)
