Baker & McKenzie, the Global CCS Institute, Industry & Investment NSW and the Consulate General of Canada will host a boardroom lunch forum in support of National CCS week.

The forum will generate productive and constructive discussion on the following themes:

> Supporting CCS and low emissions coal technologies innovation in NSW and beyond;
> Towards 2020 and the future of CCS and low emissions coal technologies;
> PPP model for CCS projects (demonstration and commercial); and
> Practical issues such as CCS projects and operations, economic and physical aspects of storage, the consortium approach to proto-type development, the pros and cons of emerging capture technology, and regulatory gaps that impact strategic planning.

Numbers are strictly limited. Please register early to avoid disappointment.

Thursday 2nd Dec

Callide Oxyfuel Project Tour, Callide A Site, QLD, 10.00am - 2.30pm

The Callide Oxyfuel Project is a new clean coal project at the Callide A Power Station in Central Queensland now under construction.  The site works include installation of two 330 tonne per day oxygen plants, modifications to Unit No. 4 (30 MWe) to allow for oxy-combustion and installation of a 70 tonne per day CO2 capture plant.

The project will demonstrate the production of electricity from coal with almost no emissions, by capturing the carbon dioxide from the power station flue gas emissions for transport and geological storage.

Callide Oxyfuel Project can be accessed by flying into Thangool (Biloela), Gladstone or Rockhampton and then driving to the Callide A Power Station.

Cost to attend: $Nil

Community consultation and stakeholder engagement for CCS projects, Seminar
Brisbane, QLD, 9.00am-1.00pm

As CCS technology develops, so too does the need for communication to the public audience. A lack of public engagement poses a major risk to technology adoption if there is no appropriate consultation with stakeholders during the project development process. CSIRO’s social research team will discuss their extensive work in public acceptance of CCS and compare the communication, project planning and management for carbon capture and storage projects on an international scale. A range of ideas, methods and activities for communicating CCS projects to stakeholders will also be workshopped.
