CSIRO and Tarong Energy announced in September 2008 a A$5 million joint pilot project of a post-combustion capture (PCC) pilot plant at coal fired Tarong Power Station, 45km south of Kingaroy.
The pilot plant is designed to capture 1,500 ton per annum of CO2 from the power station and is part of a broader research program to identify ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector.
The two-year project will start September 2009, with the pilot plant expected to be operational in the first half of 2009 and the research activities associated with the technology completed in 2011.
The Tarong trial will focus on assessing the performance of an amine-based PCC pilot plant that will be integrated into the existing coal-fired power stations. CSIRO and Tarong Energy will each contribute A$ 2.5 million to the project.
The PCC pilot plant at Tarong is an integral part of the Asia Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate (APP) program's PCC Flagship Project.
