The plant, located in the New Zealand town of Mataura, will produce low-moisture lignite briquettes for the country's South Island market. The two companies have also signed agreements for the formation of a joint venture company, GTLE Development Ltd, to both run the plant and pursue project development and deployment of the technology globally.
