As quoted in the publication:
Both plants will be based in the Latrobe Valley region and are funded under the Advanced Lignite Demonstration Program (ALDP) – a joint scheme between the federal and state governments. Both plants will take comparatively cheap brown coal and use it to produce high value products including oil, fertiliser and upgraded coal.
