Coal

Coal landing pageVictoria has a rich supply of brown coal, with 430 billion tonnes that is in thick seams near the earth’s surface. Brown coal is predominantly used in electricity generation, and it provides 90 per cent of Victoria’s electricity.

There are also new opportunities for brown coal, with the development of ‘clean coal’ to reduce greenhouse gas emissions arising from the use of coal.
