North Dakota’s Lignite Could Fuel Big Growth With Briquetting
Biemerck New Jersey June 28 A discussion of lignite coal shows North Dakota may become a major fuel producer if a viable briquetting method is found. Lignite seams run deep across 28 000 square miles with an estimated 633 billion tons but high moisture causes crumbling and higher freight costs unless dehydration and briquetting prove economical. Experts cite German and Northwest university tests turning lignite into briquettes with heating value similar to anthracite, while dehydration methods aim to remove moisture without changing shape.
