Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Carbonizing and Briquetting of Lignite: Economic Possiblities
Owing to the necessity of obtaining a suitable domestic fuel and cheap power for the Prairie Provinces, it is desirable that investigations be carried on with a view to utilizing the lignites which underlie the greater portion of these provinces.
The recommendation also pointed out that the United States Bureau of Mines had demonstrated that low-grade lignites could be briquetted, and adverted to the fact that Germany utilized her brown-coal or lignite deposits by briquetting, producing in 1910 some short tons of briquettes, of which 77% was made from lignites.
