Accelerating Australian Demonstration Projects Through Focused Research & Development

Abstract

Australian coal exports make up a third of the internationally traded coal with approximately 180 million tonnes/year supplying the power generation sector in developing countries. Forecasts suggest this demand will remain and grow even as we transfer power generation to a broad portfolio of generation technology. ANLEC R&D has developed a portfolio of research shaped by the priorities for reducing investment risk for commercial scale demonstration projects. Research investment by ANLEC R&D aims to deliver the body of scientific evidence that:

• Enables and accelerates the deployment of CO2 Storage in Australian basins and

• Underpins the environmental performance and permitting of CO2 Capture processes in Australian conditions.

Since its inception in 2010 ANLEC R&D has deployed a CCS research effort in excess of $100 million dollars. This partnership jointly funded by the Australian Coal Industry and Australian Government will continue. Currently it has completed 55 research projects and 29 current projects with 70 technology reports over both capture and storage research objectives. Early projects focused on cost reduction and adaptation of CO2 capture processes in Australian conditions with particular focus on the successful Callide Oxy-fuel Demonstration and the environmental implications of post combustion solvent capture. The Australian research priority has now shifted to sub-surface CO2 storage in three Australian basins: Gippsland Basin, Victoria, Perth Basin, Western Australia and the Surat Basin in Queensland. This work has included several innovations such as nested 3D seismic survey designs, permanent passive seismic array design, hyperspectral scanning of reservoir outcrops and a $A10 M program high resolution CT core scanning with a rigorous process to up-scale from core to logs for the sub-surface characterisation of the demonstration sites. These projects have been undertaken using the formidable Australian research capabilities at the CO2CRC, CSIRO, Universities of Melbourne, Newcastle, NSW, ANU, Sydney, Queensland, Curtin and Western Australia. ANLEC R&D continues to build its research portfolio and over the next 3 years will leverage the effort with work aimed to capture international best practice for the benefit of the developing projects in Australia. This paper will summarise the strategic research investment approach and highlight selected key research outcomes in both capture and storage illustrating the range and depth of our research impact in CCS.

1 Introduction

The Australian National Low Emissions Coal Research & Development (ANLEC R&D) conducts research that underpins the development of low emissions coal technologies (LECT) in Australia. In particular, ANLEC R&D aims to provide independent and objective analysis, data and expertise to effectively facilitate the design, permitting and operation of LECT plants using Australian coal under Australian conditions. The project is co-funded by both the Australian Government and the Australian coal industry, which are each contributing $75 million towards the project over a ten year period. The primary objective of ANLECR&D is to deliver the applied R&D that can reduce the risk of Low Emission Coal Technology (LECT) deployment in the 2010 to 2020 timeframe, thereby underpinning and accelerating the early commercial deployment of LECTs. This focus is driven by the recognition that these early projects must succeed for LECT to be accepted as a viable option in the portfolio of approaches required to achieve substantial global reductions in CO2 emissions while meeting growing energy demand.
