What sets Greenfields apart is that they have designed a process to bind and briquette coal fines (the waste product from coal slurry), enabling recovery of hundreds of millions of tons of otherwise discarded coal processing waste product and converting it into high quality, cleaner burning coal."

"GreenFields Develops New Techniques; Using a Dry Process and a New Binder, GreenFields Recycles Waste into High-BTU Briquettes", by Steve Fiscor, Editor-in-Chief
