Clean Brown Coal Projects

More than A$80 million over five years supports new pre-commercial demonstration plants, making use of clean coal technologies on an industrial scale. Located in the LatrobeValley, these plants have attracted strong industry and Australian Government support. This includes:

* A$50 million grant to HRL Limited to build and run a large-scale power plant using world-first clean coal technologies developed in Victoria. The 400 MW plant will trial a high-efficiency, integrated drying gasification technology, which is both low-cost and low-emission.
* A$30 million grant to International Power Hazelwood to develop a new large scale coal drying and combustion plant. In addition, a 25 tonne per day carbon capture plant will be built to demonstrate the latest carbon capture technology. New efficiencies gained through these technologies are expected to significantly lower CO2 emissions as compared to the current Hazelwood plant.
