Coal Intelligence · Bengalla

Coal Command

The whole Bengalla value chain on one screen — overburden, coal exposure, CHPP, quality, rail and safety — with every problem priced in tonnes and dollars and routed to an owner.

Demonstration data. 100% of the production, quality, rail, CHPP and dragline records are DEMO records, not site data. Volumes are calibrated to public New Hope figures for Bengalla; shift-level detail is generated. Connect site systems (fleet management, LIMS, CHPP historian, rail scheduling) to replace it.

Scenario lab: what is each constraint worth?

Move a lever and every number updates instantly. Annualised from the last 28 days; capacities are in product-coal tonnes so the stage that caps saleable coal is visible.

Which lever matters most

Revenue swing when one operating lever moves across its full range and the rest stay at today's values. Price: every US$10/t is worth +108.5 A$M/yr at the scenario volume.
