Our power station wish list
Stanwell would like a new power station that:
� Complies with regulatory requirements� Is economically competitive, over the project life� Can be deployed quickly to meet market needs� Is easy to procure (single EPC contract)� Has a risk profile that allows debt funding� Very low water intensity (ML/GWh)� And very low CO2 emission intensity (kg/MWh)

Pre-feasibility study
Site study
Objectives :
• Gain increased confidence in project costs and performance
• Understand the project development approval requirements
• Develop a strategy for project delivery
Standard:
• Class 4 AACE (Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering)
Key activity areas:
• Gasification and power block engineering
• Balance of plant engineering and infrastructure requirements
• Site evaluation and environmental approvals strategy
• Project scheduling and financial modelling
• Stakeholder and community education planning
• CO2 storage exploration and appraisal by CTSCo

Pre-feasibility study issues
1. Coal specification• Wandoan coal has been evaluated and found suitable for gasification • Coal specification will be washed coal with ~ 10% ash
2. Water intensity• Design ambient temperature of 28°C is a cooling cha llenge• Steam turbine dry cooled but other processes require wet cooling• Project demand is estimated at ~ 3,500 to 4,000 ML per year
3. CO2 emission intensity• Choice between Day 1 CO2 capture rates of 65% and 90%
� 65% capture gives ~ 500 kg CO2 / MWh� 90% capture gives < 200 kg CO2 / MWh
• The higher capture rate appears to be the better choice based oneconomic analysis and for its demonstration value
4. CO2 storage• Viability of storing 2.5 MT/year of CO2 will need to be confirmed
by CTSCo before Wandoan Power Project can reach financial close

Suitability evaluation of IGCC with CCS
Project water needs can be met but further reductions are sought
� Low water intensity (ML/GWh)
Stanwell’s assessmentWishlist criteria
< 200 kg/MWh is pretty good:• 75% better than supercritical black coal • 50% better than gas fuelled CCGT
� Very low CO2 emission intensity (kg/MWh)
Initial indications are that some limited recourse funding may be obtainable
� Risk profile that allows debt funding
We are working to achieve this� Easy to procure (single EPC contract)
Coal with CCS will take longer to deploy than CCGT or wind
� Deployed quickly to meet market needs
Needs first of a kind support and a strong carbon price signal
� Economically competitive
Seems OK� Complies with regulatory requirements
