"What is supporting the growth, for instance of renewables, when we have a political environment that doesn't support it and where the regulation for de-carbonising the economy is uncertain," she said.

It represented workers employed in scouring and carbonising wool, fellmongery, and the processing of sheep hides into basil (tanned sheepskin).

In 2004 Chairman David and MD Peter Michell set up a US$10 million scouring and carbonising plant at Suzhou in Jiangsu Province, China.

When operations were handed over to the municipal commissioners, coal carbonising plants were installed. It happened over a few decades, from 1901 to 1930. These plants were used till 1958. when the gas works were converted to oil gasification.

The Carbon, at the time of its release, had the unique distinction of costing less than one of its own components, its hard disk drive. This distinction led to an activity known by the slang term "carbonising," whereby customers purchase a Rio Carbon, only to dismantle it and sell the disk drive for a net profit.

In June 1929 the Franco British Company re-emerged as the Coal > Carbonisation Trust and their prospectus mentioned carbonising 1,000 tons > [1,016 t or 1120 short tons] of coal per day yielding 11 cwt of coke per ton > [550 kg/t]. Almost immediately afterwards the pit at Kilkivan was abandoned > and the whole project 'melted like snow aff a dyke'.

After the last gas street lamp disappearing in 1956, the use of fuel oil replaced coal. New oil gasification plants were installed to replaced the coal carbonising plants in 1958. In July 1997, the Kallang Gasworks piped gas production was relocated to Senoko Gasworks, which had a higher daily production capacity of 1,600,000m3. On 23 March 1998, Kallang Gasworks was officially decommissioned.

A charcoal burner at his charcoal pile Charcoal burning in Grünburg near the River Steyr water gap A charcoal burner is someone whose occupation is to manufacture charcoal. Traditionally this is achieved by carbonising wood in a charcoal pile or kiln. As an occupation it has almost died out in developed countries. Charcoal burning is one of the oldest human crafts.

By the 1960s production of gas from coal was an obsolete technology. By 1963 the Geelong Gas Company had changed production methods, using an Onia Gegi reforming plant to convert hydrocarbon gases from the Shell oil refinery at Corio into town gas. The new reforming plant was visited by many other gas companies as an example of modern Syngas technology. The former coal carbonising equipment was only used when coke (a by-product of the gasification process) was required.

Gas companies such as the Gas Light and Coke Company were established in London from as early 1812. Gas was principally used for domestic, commercial and street lighting; usage for cooking and heating were developed throughout the nineteenth century. Gas was made by roasting or carbonising coal which drove off a mixture of flammable gases, principally methane, hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The ‘town gas’ as it was called was stored in large gas holders and distributed to consumers in iron pipes.

In 1925, NESCo set up separate plant at the power station for the low temperature carbonisation treatment of coal, before being burned in boilers and the steam used for electricity generation. The treatment plant was manufactured by Babcock & Wilcox, and set up in a self-contained boiler house which contained four boilers, four retorts and pulverising mills. The building was also fitted with gas-stripping and by- product plants. The carbonising plant could handle up to 100 tonnes of coal per day, while its boilers produced 78,000 lb of steam per hour.

Davey launched his campaign on 30 May with a focus on revoking the UK's withdrawal from the European Union and on environmental issues by "de- carbonising capitalism". He hinted at more interest in encouraging defections to the Liberal Democrats than pacts with other parties, like Change UK. He also defended the record of the coalition. Swinson announced her campaign later that day too. Later that week, she said the party could be open to local electoral agreements to support other pro-Remain politicians, but that the Liberal Democrats were the "obvious rallying point" for those opposed to Brexit.
