Solid Energy Plans for Lignite

New Zealand has huge challenges ahead as global demand for land, water, and energy resources, driven by a world population of over 7 billion, continues growing to the point where supply just can't keep up.

Solid Energy believes that Southland's 3 billion tonnes of recoverable lignite resource is part of the national solution to this challenge. Green lobbyists are doing their best to limit the discussion on whether or not to mine lignites to pithy slogans like "keep coal in the hole". We urge you to watch this short film and come to your own conclusions.
