The Energy Technology Innovation Strategy (ETIS) was created to find ways to help utilize the state’s brown coal resources. In 2005, the Victorian government committed over A$187 million in funding to a range of low emission energy technology initiatives through the ETIS.
April, 2008, another A$110 million was committed specifically to help establish new large-scale, pre-commercial CCS demonstration projects.
EXPERIENCE:
In 2005, the ETIS contributed A$50 million to a project in Victoria that is to utilize integrated drying and gasification combined cycle (IDGCC) technology.
Additionally, it committed A$30 million to a A$369 million coal-drying and carbon capture project at the Hazelwood Power Station.
