The goal of GC3 is to provide the community information on the progress of coal utilisation. As coal is an extremely important component of the world's energy mix and will continue to be for future generations, it is essential that coal utilisation processes continue to develop to ensure its role in a sustainable future.

The focus of information will be on local (CQ region) development and initiatives relevant to coal and its uses. The large stake that the CQ region has in the continued use and expansion of coal technology cannot be understated.

Newsletter

A quarter-yearly newsletter will be produced by the centre that will contain industry leaders opinions on coal and its associated technologies and supporting local, national and world initiatives. Your feedback is encouraged and should you wish to contribute please contact the centre.
