At the Munmorah Power Station in New South Wales, a research-scale pilot plant will capture up to 3000 tonnes of CO2. The focus of the project’s CSIRO researchers is to assess the performance of post-combustion capture under Australian conditions.
CSIRO’s Energy Transformed Flagship is working with Delta Electricity to test post-combustion capture at a pilot plant they have built at the Munmorah Power Station.
The Flagship’s goal is to provide proof of the post-combustion concept, evaluation of various CO2 absorbents, assistance in the scale up to demonstration and commercial plants, and provide the science underpinnings for future policy options for CO2 capture.
It is hoped the Munmorah project will provide the foundation for a $150 million post-combustion capture and storage demonstration project in NSW, planned for operation by 2013, capturing up to 100,000 tonnes of CO2 each year.
