About Lignite (Brown Coal)
Lignite, a low-rank coal with high moisture content (25-75%), serves primarily as fuel for thermal power generation and heat production. Major grades include sub-bituminous and lignite classifications, traded as run-of-mine or beneficiated forms. Australia, Indonesia, Germany, and India dominate global production and exports, with Australia controlling approximately 30% of international trade. Buyers should verify moisture content and heating value (typically 8-13 MJ/kg) upon receipt, as lignite's hygroscopic nature causes quality degradation during storage and transport; proper handling prevents spontaneous combustion risks and ensures compliance with power plant specifications.
