Description – The oxyfuel combustion process, first conceived in Japan in 1974, has been tested in small-scale projects in Japan, the USA the UK and Europe. The Callide project will take the technology to a larger scale in order to demonstrate that it can be applied to existing and new coal-fired power stations to achieve very significant reductions (up to 90% of CO2) in emissions.International – APP Cleaner Fossil Energy Task Force Flagship ProjectResearch – University of Newcastle (CCSD) for oxycombustion technology, CO2CRC for definition of storage sites.

AIM
To demonstrate CO2 capture in pilot plant settings for a range of CO2 capture technologies and to
support this in the laboratory.
The overall preliminary plan and broad milestones are:
• Year 1: – Design, construct and commission equipment. – Define test procedures and detail programs. – Recruit personnel where necessary
• Year 2: – Operate test rigs, perform test program. – Collect data. – Ongoing evaluation
• Year 3: – Analyse data, run additional tests where required. – Ongoing evaluation. – Detailed evaluation and performance at large scale

What next?What next?
• The work will provide valuable capture information for post and pre-combustion for all fuel types.
• Post Combustion– Contribute to the knowledge of possible PCC cost reductions
for all fuel types– Novel separation technologies demonstrated
• Pre-Combustion– If successful potential for slipstream on 400MW plant
• Overlap and integration with basic research program– Identify those areas to continue and those to drop
• Extend to other demonstration projects at larger scale

Basin Scale Assessment ExampleBasin Scale Assessment Example
• Major study to identify techno-economic options for CCS of
Latrobe valley CO2 emissions.
• Context
– Assume future deployment of CCS for new coal developments
– Providing rationale for industrial hub concept and associated
CCS infrastructure
– Consider three generic case – 2, 15 and 50 Mtpa for costing and
technical assessment thus demonstrating economies of scale
Basin Scale AssessmentBasin Scale AssessmentInjection Scenarios
• Injection at several sites along regional migration pathways, sequentially & simultaneously, ramping up volume to 50 Mt/y
1. Kingfish Field: 15 Mt/y for 40 years2. Fortescue Field: 15 Mt/y for 40 years3. Basin centre & northern gas fields: 20 Mt/y for 40 years
AssumptionsAssumptions
• Costs as at Q1 2005.
• Real discount rate = 7%
• Project Life = 40 yrs
• Spare compressor trains (cycled)
• Capture not modelled
• New platforms for A, B and C cases
• Permeability = 150 millidarcies
• Fortescue and Central Deep properties the same as Kingfish

The findings from the project indicate that:The findings from the project indicate that:• the existing oil and gas fields could store more than two
billion tonnes of CO2 once depleted;
• the regional seal rock is of good quality to store CO2;
• the geology, chemistry and hydrology are favourable for CO2 storage;
• CO2 will migrate very slowly through the reservoir rock over tens to hundreds of years;
• the unit cost of storage is low by world standards;
• risks are low and can be readily managed by proponents; and
• the targeted offshore injection sites are favourable for geosequestration.

Barriers & Challenges
• Carbon trading/ emissions trading– Will this reflect real cost of abatement ?
• Growth in energy consumption• Recommendation to government for a 10% cut by 2020 (30%
below best estimate)– 20% renewable target
• Investment – no one wants to build power stations anymore• Storage regulation• Exploration – lack of data at depth• Cost of capture and efficiency penalty (more fossil fuels)• Public concern – NGO concern?• Lack of clarity from funding sources

Workshops OverviewWorkshops Overview
• Identify RD&D requirements– Build on earlier efforts (e.g. Canadian, US, UK, Saudi Arabian
and French roadmaps)– Happy to also refer to Japanese roadmap if available– During October 2008, aim to have a roadmap by early 2009
• Workshop 1: identifying the role of RD&D going forward • Workshop 2: Capture technology• Workshop 3: Storage technology & Site Assessment• Workshop 4: Monitoring & Verification
