Coal characterisation
Coal grain analysis information is providing a better understanding of the coal performance in existing applications, such as coke making and conventional power generation.
Coal engines and carbon fuel cells
The Direct Injection Coal Engine and the Direct Carbon Fuel Cell are small, efficient and sustainable coal-based generation systems that provide a complimentary technology to large-scale carbon capture and storage technologies.
Coal gasification: from fundamentals to application
Our research addresses coal and power industry needs. We seek to understand the suitability and performance of Australian coals for use in emerging power generation technologies based on coal gasification.
Coal to liquids technology
CSIRO has identified potential new science and technology developments that may improve the cost and viability of coal to liquids in a greenhouse gas-constrained environment.
