Loy Yang Power has signed a memorandum of understanding with MBD Energy, a private Melbourne company whose algae-based technology will allow the brown-coal power station to cut its emissions of carbon dioxide.
The technology provides an alternative to carbon capture and sequestration for all coal-fired power stations in Australia, and can also be used by other big emitters such as mining plants or cement factories.
Under the deal, a $2.1 million display plant will be built next to Loy Yang by the end of the year. If successful, the second phase would involve a $23 million pilot plant in 2011, leading to the construction of a $300 million demonstration plant in 2013.
MBD's process involves capturing flue gasses, including carbon dioxide, from the power station and injecting them into circulating waste water to produce oil-rich algae. The process also purifies the waste water.
