Eestech owns the exclusive Asia Pacific rights to the HTC Purenergy carbon capture technology, which includes the world’s first pre-engineered, modular, 1,000 tonne-per-day carbon capture system, known as the CCS-1OOO.
The HTC Purenergy system captures CO2 from the flue gas stream of coal and gas fired power stations for subsequent storage in either underground aquifers or depleted oil and gas fields.
The HTC Purenergy carbon capture technology can reportedly be retrofitted onto existing power plants. When integrated with Eestech’s hybrid coal gas turbine, which utilizes waste coal and methane to produce the energy required for carbon capture, the cost of carbon capture is expected to be significantly reduced.
Santos’s acting managing director, David Knox, said that the agreement will further complement Santos’s commitment to the research and development of carbon capture and storage into depleted oil and gas fields.
