Project 1. CO2 Capture and Storage Program
Download Complete Project Description
This project will identify a range
of initiatives that Partner countries may wish to
consider in advancing knowledge and understanding of
carbon capture and storage technologies. Due to the
varying level of development and technical advancement
in different Partner countries, and the range of natural
resource opportunities, the options and priorities that
each Partner may consider pursuing will vary. A major
focus of this program is to provide a greater
understanding of the role and contribution that carbon
capture and storage can make to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. Australia and China will participate in this
project.

Project 2. Ultra-Supercritical Pulverized Coal and
Carbon Capture and Storage (USC PC/CCS) Near Zero
Emissions Workshop and Design Guides for APP Countries
Download
Complete Project Description
This project will plan and conduct
a workshop, develop user-based plant design
guidelines, and transfer information for
Ultrasupercritical (USC) pulverized coal (PC) power
generation with near-zero pollutant emissions plus
post-combustion CO2 capture and storage (CCS) technology
as applied to Partner countries. CoalFleet for
Tomorrow®, an international collaboration with over 50
organizations that includes representation from all
Partner countries, will participate in this workshop,
which will be organized by the United States. It is
anticipated that this project will expand deployment in
Partner countries by providing international design
information, lessons learned, and guidelines for the
technology. Additionally, Partner country exchanges
will broaden the types of coal considered for
ultrasupercritical pulverized coal power generation with
low emissions and options for CO2 capture and design
information for these coals. Australia, China, India,
Japan, Korea, and the United States are participating
Partners in this project.

Project 3. Ultra Clean Coal
Project
Download Complete Project Description
This project aims to demonstrate
ultra clean coal fuel for direct firing in a prototype
6-10 MW gas turbine, which will be used to develop a
proposal for commercial-scale plant possibilities in
Partner countries. By providing Partner countries with
the UCC process, there is a potential for higher
efficiency power generation than other coal-fired
options that will ultimately reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. This project will also enable Partner
countries to share information on the outcomes of
combustion/erosion trials and incorporate UCC technology
into a strategic approach for addressing greenhouse gas
emissions. Australia, China, and Japan are
participating Partners in this project.

Project 4. Oxy-Fuel Combustion
Program and Working Group
Download Complete Project Description
This project will establish an
Ad-Hoc Working Group to facilitate support and add value
to oxy-fuel combustion demonstration projects that the
Task Force has endorsed. The Working Group will
ultimately develop a work program aimed to support the
development, demonstration and commercial deployment of
oxy-fuel combustion by 2015. Oxy-fuel combustion is an
enabling technology for capture and storage of CO2 from
fossil fuel power stations. The Working Group will be
composed of representatives from every Partner country
based on a nomination process. By providing a forum for
stakeholders and Partner countries, the Working Group
has the potential to develop market strategies that
provide for less costly and cleaner energy such as
oxy-fuel combustion. Australia, China, India, Japan,
Korea, and the United States are participating Partners
in this project.

Project 5. Callide-A Oxy-Fuel Demonstration
Project
Download Complete Project Description
This project will provide a
world-first, fully integrated demonstration of oxy-fuel
pulverized-coal technology at a 30 megawatt (MW)
electrical scale, and capture and storage of up to
30,000 tons CO2 per year. The project has the broad
goal of demonstrating a complete and integrated process
of oxy-fuel combustion of pulverized coal, oxy-fuel
combustion, CO2 processing and liquefaction, and CO2
transport and geological storage. Successful
demonstration of oxyfuel technology has the potential to
lead toward near zero emissions electricity with a
minimal environmental footprint. Australia and Japan
are participating Partners in this project.

Project 6. Assessing Post-Combustion Capture for
Emissions from
Coal-Fired Power Stations
Download Complete Project Description
This project will provide
post-combustion CO2 capture technology for
coal-fired power stations. Initial laboratory
evaluations of solvents for design purposes will be
performed on representative flue gases for Partner
country power stations. An existing mobile pilot plant
will be installed at 2-3 Partner power stations to
obtain process data, solvent performance testing, and
practical experience for up to one year at each site.
Subsequently, demonstrations at increasing larger scales
will be planned. Australia and China are participating
Partners in this project.

Project 7. Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle with
Carbon Capture and Storage Workshop, and Design Information for
APP Country
Coals
Download Complete Project Description
This project involved holding a
combined workshop focused on preparing User Design Basis
Guidelines on Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC)
and CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) technology needs in
Partner countries. Management of the workshop, which
took place in Tokyo, Japan in September of 2006, was
jointly sponsored by Japan and the United States with
CoalFleet for Tomorrow. Over 40 members attended the
expert group meeting and over 300 attendees from every
Partner country participated in the workshop. The
workshop provided Partners with information regarding
needs and differences unique to Partner country coals
and integration of IGCC/CCS. The follow up to this
project may include exploration of exchange and possible
broadening of the types of coals considered for IGCC/CCS
and design information for Partner country coals.
Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea, and the United
States are participating Partners in this project.

Project 8. Asia-Pacific Gas
Market Growth
Download Complete Project Description
This project between the United
States and Australia has the goal of achieving a larger
gas market in Partner economies. The goal is to promote
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) best practice
principles for liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade and
market access. Representatives from the public and
private sector from Partner countries will address
increasing the share of energy consumption supplied by
gas. This ultimately will promote energy security,
national air pollution reduction, and mitigation of CO2
emissions in a way that promotes sustainable economic
growth and poverty reduction. Australia and the United
States are participating Partners in this project.

programs to develop gas hydrates as a clean energy
source. This project aims to provide a mechanism to
share this information with policy makers and
researchers while enabling Partner countries to conduct
cost-shared joint projects that will allow gas hydrates
to become a viable commercial energy source in the near
future. This project, in combination with current R&D
initiatives in the Partner countries, will help to
ensure that the energy demand growth aspirations of the
Asia-Pacific region are met. Australia, India, Japan,
and the United States are
participating Partners in this project.

Project 12. Costs and Diffusion
Barriers to Deployment of Low Emissions
Technologies for APP
Download Complete Project Description
This project aims to determine the
current level of maturity of a broad portfolio of Low
Emission Technologies (LET) and to derive their relative
cost profiles over time within and between the Partner
countries’ energy markets. This project will produce a
study that identifies the cost-effectiveness of LET
technologies in the context of the impact on energy
costs of meeting clean development and climate
objectives in an integrated way. Identifying the costs
and other barriers to the deployment of different energy
technologies is an important first step for the
