Sustainable technology developer EESTech owns the exclusive Asia Pacific rights to the HTC Purenergy C02 capture system (CCS) to extract C02 from the flue gas stream of coal and gas fired power stations for subsequent storage either in underground aquifers or depleted oil and gas fields.
The HTC carbon capture system is reportedly the world’s first pre-engineered, modular CO2 capture system, which can be retrofitted onto existing power plants.
Loy Yang noted that, when integrated with EESTech’s hybrid coal gas turbine, which utilizes waste coal, methane or biomass, to produce the energy required, the combined technologies become the world’s first standalone carbon capture system which significantly reduces the cost of C02 capture.
Ian Nethercote, Loy Yang Power’s CEO, said: This project will build on our current R&D activities which are focused on identifying new technologies to reduce C02 emissions from brown coal power stations.
