GERMAN PROCESSES

INTEREST TO AUSTRALIA

(United Press Association.—Copyright.) (Eeceived 20th September, noon.)

LONDON, .19th September. The Imperial Fuel Besearch Board 5a investigating German, reports of the successful production of synthetic petrol from brown coal. The Depart* ment states that if German results 'justified the forecasts it might mean an industrial revolution in Australia owing to its illimitable supplies of lignite and her consequent possible independence of imported petrol. -

Nevertheless, there are two import* ant reservations. The Germans have not disclosed the scientific method of production. The Department is-fami-liar with the Bergins process, with which it is experimenting in co-opera-tion with the British Bergius patentees, but unofficially it has been told that the new process is different from the Bergius. Even if the new process is successful in Germany, it will not necesarily be equally successful in. Australia, nnless the brown coal is chemically similar to the German.
