The technology is worth just as much as the money you can make from it. So far they have not made a single cent and it seems like potential JV partners are not ready to equally share margins with WEC. Hence WEC will either need to waive some margin in favour of their JV partner or acquire a deposit or coal fines dump themselves. But how much margin would an own small deposit or dump yield given that WEC would need to run all infrastructure and market the coal themselves? Would briquettes be sellable unblended at all? Will their burn characteristics be the same as for conventional coal?
And what will production costs be? In Tabang they amounted to some $30/t which was more than originally expected.
There are just too many unknowns to give WEC a price tag.
