Japanese government planning to build 45 new coal fired power stations to diversify supply [View all]

Report is over a month old, but I just saw this in a FB feed and don't recall seeing it posted here.
--------------------------------------------------

The Japanese government is moving ahead with its plans to build up to 45 new coal fired power stations.

The power plants will utilise high energy, low emissions (HELE) technology that use high-quality black coal.

Japan is the largest overseas market for Australian coal producers, taking more than a third of all exports.
