Four Australian coals were trialled in the Siemens 5 MWth pilot scale gasifier in Freiberg, Germany, in August 2007. A summary report of these trials was issued by the former CCSD, which gave an overview of the results of the trials and some preliminary links between existing, laboratory-scale .... read more |

| Author: Peta Ashworth, Melissa Mayhew, Frances Millar, Naomi Boughen | CSIRO, cLET |
Heavy investment into research and development of clean coal technologies is occurring around the globe. However, surveys of public attitudes suggest most of the general public are unaware of any advanced coal technologies including carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS). This lack of .... read more |
