Commencement of Works at the Callide - A Oxy - fuel
Demonstration Plant

Biloela, Queensland, Australia

14 November 2008

A ceremony to mark the commencement of works at the Callide-A Oxy-fuel demonstration plant in Biloela, Queensland, Australia was held on 14 November 2008. This event marked a significant milestone for CFE-06-05, the Callide-A Oxy-fuel Demonstration Project, one of two Cleaner Fossil Energy Task Force Flagship Projects. The project, which involves the retrofitting of a 30MW coal fired boiler unit at the Callide-A power station in Australia to capture and store up to 17,000t of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year, will be the world's first retrofit of oxy-fuel combustion technology. The project will make a major contribution to reducing the lead times associated with the commercial deployment of oxy-fuel technology.
