In post-combustion capture CO2 is separated from the flue gas after fuel is burnt from conventional power stations, either coal or natural gas. Image courtesy of CO2CRC. For more information on this process, check out our Low Emission Technologies PowerPoint.

The pre-combustion CO2 capture project will use this solvent rig to evaluate and improve solvent technologies for separating CO2 from syngas during the carbon capture process. Image courtesy of CO2CRC. For more information on this process, check out our Low Emission Technologies PowerPoint.

Renewable energy is used from a number of sources in Queensland. Approximately 6% (745 megawatts (MW)) of the 12,500 (MW) of electricity generating capacity in the state comes from renewable sources. The most significant of these is biomass primarily bagasse or sugar cane waste. In this fact sheet…

This is a Google Earth interactive map showing the locations of all operating and proposed renewable energy power stations in Australia. Each location is represented by name and an icon corresponding to the type of energy used. Students can click on the icon to see basic information about…

This is a worksheet consisting of a blank data table designed for students to record information resulting from their research into renewable energy resources. It specifies the types of energy resources to be investigated and suggests topics for research focus. Educational value statement Can be used across many…

Solar is one form of renewable energy. Solar power can be used in two different ways as a heat source and as an electricity source. This fact sheet looks at the techniques for harnessing solar energy such as solar thermal, solar gas, photovoltaic systems, and the solar energy…
