The man behind a low carbon gas-fired power station says he is certain it can be adapted to run on Australian coal and will mean coal can be burned for “hundreds of years”.
Mr Fetvedt was a key player in the NetPower joint venture which last year deliveredfrom a pioneering gas fired power station that is said to capture more than 97 per cent of the carbon dioxide emitted during combustion.
Dubbed the Allam-Fetvedt cycle after its two main founders – Rodney Allam and Mr Fetvedt – the project spent last year burning methane gas in pure oxygen and ultimately produced a highly concentrated stream of carbon dioxide within a closed loop that would be suitable for permanent storage or industrial use.
While the coal trial is only half complete, Mr Fetvedt said he was confident there were no major technical barriers. “It depends upon where you are and where the local industry is, what the local geology is, what the local experience is,” he said.LETA has called for an Allam-Fetvedt cycle power station to be built above geological storage locations in Queensland and believes the technology could also be used to make hydrogen from coal without emissions.decision to cut $250 million worth of funding for carbon capture and storage projects in last month’s federal budget.
