Australia’s fossil fuel reliance

Australia’s electricity generation by energy source, 2009-10:

CCS is the only technology currently available which can significantly reduce emissions from fossil fuels.

Source: 2009 emissions from the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory 2011, DCCEE analysis.

Australia’s Emissions Profile:

Australia’s Emissions Targets and the Clean Energy Future Plan

Australia has committed to reducing emissions by: 5% below 2000 levels by 2020; and 80% below 2000 levels by 2050 (proposed)

CCS Projects in Australia

South West Hub Project Initial stage of proving up

geological storage: • Seismic modelling • Drilling stratigraphic well • Legislation and JV

South West Hub Project

2010-2012: proving up storage

2012-2015: pipeline development (Kwinana to Lesueur)

Post 2015: pipeline development (Lesueur to Perdaman)

CarbonNet Project • Location: brown coal and a large electricity generation hub. • 3 million tonnes of CO2 a year

• Currently in prefeasibility stage with exploration activities

being undertaken.

Geological model of the Gippsland Basin

Otway Project • Demonstration project in

Victoria by the CO2CRC

• Stage 1: Over 65,000 tonnes CO2 successfully injected into a depleted gas reservoir

• Stage 2: Experiments are almost complete for CO2 storage in saline formations

Gorgon Project

Callide Project

Stage 1 on track: retrofitting oxy-fuel technology to an existing power plant.

17 000 tonnes

Challenges for CCS Deployment in Australia

• Understanding storage capacity • Reducing capital and operating costs • Developing multi-user transport networks and

hubs. • Creating a nationally consistent regulatory

frameworks • Ensuring community acceptance • Extending CCS to gas-fired power generation,

LNG-processing and large-scale industrial

Timeframe for CCS Deployment (Treasury SGLP Core Scenario)

Summary

• CCS is important to Australia • We have significant potential • Much is underway but much

remains to be done!
