Default Coal to WAX

Rather than burning Coal, Oil or Gas we should value add it. Turning coal to liquid for fuel is based on the oil price of approximately $450 per tonne. Turning coal to wax could produce a much higher sale price at $700 per tonne or higher ($2000) if it is refined further. Wax is used in particle board and plasterboard and so has large consumption of wax. H&R group would take every kg of suitable wax. The wax is used as a hydrophobe and so is not burned an does not impact on CO2 emissions. Coal to liquid fuel is an option but maybe coal to wax is better.
