Coal gasification and Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) are low emission coalfired power generation technologies. Find out more about the process of integrating a coal gasification power plant with the capture and storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to generate low emission base-load electricity in this fact sheet.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies enable carbon dioxide (CO2) produced from the burning of coal to be captured and stored rather than emitted into the atmosphere. Find out more about carbon capture and storage in this fact sheet, including how it is captured and seperated and what is happening in Australia around this technology.

When used in power generation particularly in a combined cycle system, gas fired power typically produces 50% less carbon dioxide (CO?) than conventional coal fired power plants. This fact sheets explains the gas fired electricity generation process and looks at its potential for Queensland.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a fossil fuel that when burned reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 3060% in comparison with heavier hydrocarbon fuels. This fact sheet looks at LNG, its uses, how it is produced, shipped and stored and also the regasification process.

Coal Seam Gas (CSG) is around 9597% pure methane which is a greenhouse gas formed millions of years ago as part of the burial of peat to form coal. The methane remains adsorbed or attached to the coal and is held in the coal underground by pressure and water. Find out more about CSG in this fact sheet.

Allows students to examine how energy is obtained and used and the consequences of obtaining and using different fossil fuels and alternative sources. Examines policies and strategies around the choices for energy now and in the future. Examines coal, clean coal technologies, uranium and alternative energy sources.

As the urgency grows for the world to shift its energy dependence from non-renewable to a hybrid of energy fuel sources, a sound understanding of the science of the various technologies is increasingly important. Low emission energy sources which includes renewable and fossil fuel based energies such as gas and coal based energies incorporating carbon capture and sequestration are under intense discussion by policy makers worldwide. Suitable for year 10 in line with Queensland Studies Authority Year 10 Guidelines.

Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) is the process of gasifying coal in situ, that is, where it is lying under the surface, so that it can be used as a fuel or chemical feedstock. This fact sheet explores a number of elements of the UCG process including technology and environmental management.

A general introduction to the 'Powering the Future' forum conducted April 12, 2010 at the Brisbane PowerHouse. Matthew discusses the role of gas (and LNG) in the overall energy mix, the role of gas in reducing carbon intensity, structure of gas-fired electricity turbines and a brief overview of some renewable technologies.
