Current projects:

Yarraboldy Briquette Company was a finalist in this years 2004 Prestigious The Premier of Queensland Smart Awards in the Mining and Minerals Processing category.

Briquetting waste coal fines:

Since 1999 Yarraboldy has been briquetting waste coal fines at the Wallerawang Collieries site in Lithgow, NSW. These fines are the by-products from the coal washing process that was once operating on this site.

These briquettes are then sold to Delta Electricity's Mt Piper power station as a power generation fuel. The average production for this plant is 6000 tons per month.

The ability to convert these fines from a waste product to a commercially saleable product has been based on the specialised coal retrieval techniques developed by Yarraboldy and the binder Yarraboldy has developed which drives the excess moisture off the coal when curing and retains the sulphur content of the coal as an inert mineral in the ash.

There is also a very important environmental aspect to what Yarraboldy is achieving on this project. When coal fines are exposed to rain, sulphur leaches into the water supply and adversely affects the water quality, leading to a number of environmental and health issues. By removing the fines the threat of water contamination is also removed.

This project was featured in the Australia's Longwalls mining magazine;

This project has approxaminatly 2 years of coal fines left; estimated wind up is June 2006.

Biomass fuels:

Yarraboldy is a major supplier of Biomass fuels to the power generation industry in NSW. Most of the Biomass is processed from construction and demolition waste, sourced from transfer stations in an area form Sydney to the central west.
