4.30 HELE power in the north – the opportunities and obstacles
Australian’s are in a flux of confusion regarding the provision of power. We are dependent on it as a nation for
our way of life, production of food, transport, education, health and communications yet we have a growing
expectation that all power will be generated only by renewables in the near future. While this ambitious goal is
shared by many the path to progress from fossil fuel power supply to 100% renewables will need smart
transitioning and involvement by the coal industry not only in the adoption of but importantly also in raising
awareness of the cleaner coal technologies. Many Australians are not aware of the role technologies such as
high efficiency low emission (HELE) power generation plants can offer as an energy source in a low carbon
future. Development of Northern Australian will require a reliable power supply which cannot be provided at
the moment by renewables alone. Our existing coal fired power stations will come to the end of their
existence in the next decade or so. With the advancements in HELE power plant technologies and access to
affordable, good quality coal and a reliable grid the Bowen Basin region is well poised to integrate a HELE
power plant with renewables to provide Australia with power at affordable prices. Key obstacles that a HELE
in Northern Australia will face will be public opposition to a coal fired power stations, capital costs and funding.
This presentation will open conversation with conference participants to discuss the role the coal industry
could provide in raising the awareness of cleaner coal technologies and the considerations for input into
feasibility studies for a Northern Australian HELE plant.
