Abstract: Post-combustion capture of CO2 is a key technology for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from Australian coal fired power stations. It is an emerging technology, which still faces significant challenges in scaling up to full commercial scale suitable for power station applications. To increase adoption by the power industry significant cost reductions in capital and operating cost must be realised. CSIRO has developed an integrated post-combustion capture R&D and pilot plant program aimed at bringing down the barriers for commercial deployment. This paper provides an overview of the program and its status. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
