An overview of coal deposits and tenement holdings within Australia demonstrating:
> The future in coal resource exploitation in Australia with regards to Coal Mining, LNG, Coal to Liquids or Coal Gasification
> Ownership and Locations of the tenements; analysing the technologies likely to be implemented in the different regions as a result
> How the different technologies can co-exist on the one tenement and issues that may arise when this occurs
> Investment opportunities and/or risks within Australia coal resource exploitation
Kevin Irving, General Manager of Mining, XSTRACT
4:50 Closing remarks from Chair

CONFERENCE DAY TWO
Wednesday 2 June 2010
8:30 Morning coffee
9:00 Opening remarks from the Chair
9:10 ZeroGen Project Update
> Proposing to build one of the world’s first baseload low emissions coal fired power plants with carbon capture and storage, in Queensland
> Working with the Queensland Government, Australia’s black coal industry through ACALET, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and the Mitsubishi Corporation will accelerate the development and deployment of low emissions technology, a critical element in global efforts to address climate change and reduce emissions from power generation
> Supporting a sustainable future for Australia’s $50 billion coal industry and the 130,000 jobs it provides
Colin Whyte, Stakeholder and External Relations Manager, ZeroGen
9:50 Progress Update : Geological Carbon Storage in Victoria
Peter Tingate, Senior Geologist, Energy Geoscience Group, GeoScience Victoria
10:30 Morning tea
11:00 Case Study : Latest Developments in Post-Combustion Capture
James McGregor, Energy Systems Manager, CSIRO Division of Energy Technology
11:40 MBD Energy Limited - CO2 to Energy
Greenhouse gas abatement at large emitters using algae:
- The process, conversion of greenhouse gases to algae oil and meal
- Project summary - from display (1 Ha) to large scale deployment
- Bio CCS Program - 3 regional programs each targeting 50 Million tonnes of greenhouse gas sequestration per year by 2020
Andrew Lawson, Managing Director, MBD Energy Limited
12:10 Q & A Forum
12:20 Lunch
1:20 Case Study : Does the Accelerated Utilisation of Victorian Lignite, via Advanced Depolymerisation, Hold the Key to Domestic Energy Security & Maintenance of Black Coal Export Earnings?
Dr. Len Humphreys, CEO, Ignite Energy Resources Ltd
2:00 Demonstration of Carbon Mineralisation via Aqueous Precipitation Technology (CMAP) for Beneficial Use of CO2 in the Built Environment
- Introduce the CMAP process: CO2 from a flue gas stream is absorbed into water and converted into carbonate anions through highly controlled pH modulation. The carbonate materials produced are essentially forms of limestone that can be used for a number of applications in building materials such as cement and aggregates
- Consider advantages of CMAP as mineralogical sequestration process
- Present the results of capture and mineralisation performance from continuous pilot scale tests and a 10 MW scale on a slipstream of the Dynegy Moss Landing power plant in Northern California
Randy Seeker, Ph.D, VP Process Development, Calera Corporation
2:40 Afternoon tea
3:10 Challenges and Costs of CO2 Transportation and Storage CO2 storage is a critical path item in commercial CCS projects.
Presentation will consider:
> The costs and timings for a commercial CO2 transportation and storage operation
> Opportunities for development of common-user infrastructure
> The economic gap that currently faces projects proponents in the CCS market today
Dr Geoff Ingram, Corporate and External Affairs, Schlumberger Carbon Services Australasia
3:40 Case Study : Linc Energy’s Australian Projects
Peter Bond, Managing Director, Linc Energy
4:20 Closing remarks from Chair – end of conference
