"TONY WOOD: Companies around the world who can see the future first and get there first are the ones who are going to capitalise.
GREG HOY: The suggestion is energy companies with the most flexible and cleanest fuel sources are the best investment in the brave new carbon conscious world.
JEREMY BENTHAN: The biggest, fastest, most reliable way to start addressing this now is through gas. Gas fired power stations emit less than half the CO2 of a coal fired power station."
"Direct Injection Coal Engine - DICE+CHTD coal / water mixture used to successfully run CSIRO pilot engine. Potential for significant optimisation, Engine runs smoothly with very low ash, no tar, nochar and very low indicated wear rates, CHTD DICE predicted to achieve a fuel cycle efficiency above 47% using current technology. Up to100Mw engines are commercially available, Highly flexible, adaptable, clean power generation -modular development, easily cooled, rapid start, CO2 emissions comparable to open cycle gas turbines. Exergen CHTD treated low rank coal can be significantly lower cost per unit of energy than black"
So Mantle's JV partner Exergen in collaboration with the CSIRO have a solution to turn the cheapest form of energy into the cleanest carbon based electrical generation, on par with the prefered gas turbine.
