COAL CARBONISATION
First Plant In Special
Areas (British Official Wireless.) (Received December 17, 5 p.m.) Rugby, December 16. The foundation stone has been laid at the Werne Tarw colliery, Glamorgan, of the first oil from coal plant to be set up in the special areas. The Government and the Nuffield 'Trust provided half the required capital of £650,000 for the works, which by low temperature carbonisation, will turn between 500 and 750 tons of coal daily into smokeless fuel, petrol, diesel*oil, tar acids and other by-products. Werne Tarw, where four seams are being worked, is being electrified, and will be connected with the neighbouring Raglan colliery, which is to be reopened after lying idle for four years. The two collieries will give employment to several thousand men.
