Description

A $2 billion project to convert Victorian brown coal into urea fertiliser and diesel fuel was planned in Victoria's Coal Rich Petro Valley. The project aimed to produce 520,000 tons of urea fertiliser annually for distribution primarily in Victoria. The project was blocked by the Victorian government due to ideological reasons despite having an independent report showing a net zero emissions profile from day one. The project has now moved to New Zealand where it has received support.
