Abstract:
Brown coal production in Victoria's Latrobe Valley Region (Figure I) continues to rise and currently stands at around 50 Mt per annum. With the exception of around 2 Mt used to produce some 700 Kt of brown coal briquettes, this coal is mined by the State Electricity Commission to fuel large thermal power stations with a total installed capacity of just over 5,000 Megawatts.
