Within two years, central Queensland could get a kick-off of a new clean coal project work. A feasibility study on it has just been completed. It is the world’s first technology, where waste carbon dioxide would be pumped underground around Emerald and Springsure from the power production process.
It will also produce water as a by-product in the process. According to Stanwell operations director John McGarry,
The gasification side produces the syn-gas, we call it synthetic gas itself, which has got the two components, carbon dioxide, but the other one is hydrogen… We will send the hydrogen to a turbine and the waste product is water. We take the CO2 off, we sequester it, bury it. The other ingredient is hydrogen and its waste product is water, that’s the lovely part about this.
