Callide-A Oxyfuel

Project Overview

The Callide Oxy-Fuel Project will involve the retrofit of an existing power station, CS Energy’s Callide A Power Station in central Queensland, with oxyfuel technology. This project will establish the design and operating requirements for large scale retrofit and new oxy-fuel power plants. The first stage of the project will involve the conversion and operation of a 30MW unit at Callide A and the capture of CO2 during power generation. The second stage will involve the transportation, injection and storage of the captured CO2 into an underground storage site, which is anticipated to be selected in 2009. Injection is predicted to begin in 2010.
