The following facts about one particular deposit – the Hawkdun Lignite deposit – are quite staggering, and highlight the full extent of lignite’s value and the potential for investment in it;
• Mined and converted to synthesis gas the deposit would have a minimum natural gas equivalent of 7.05 tcf – about twice the total original Maui Gas Field.
• If the lignite were converted to transport fuels in the form of petrol, diesel, jet fuel etc. it could provide 71 million tonnes of fuel – enough to supply New Zealand’s total requirements for 15 – 20 years.
• If the lignite were converted to Ammonia and Urea Fertilizer it could provide all New Zealand’s nitrogenous fertiliser requirements for the next 127 years and provide additional
exports of 1.9 million tonnes per year giving an income of $800 million per year.
• If the lignite were converted to Methanol it could provide an export income of $1.4 billion for the next 65 years.
• If the Hawkdun lignite were developed to produce electricity it could supply all of the South Island electricity demand or about 30% of the national Electricity demand for the next 65 years.
