The Federal Minister for Resources and Energy, Martin Ferguson AM MP, and Queensland's Minister for Mines and Energy, Geoff Wilson, have attended a ceremony to mark the commencement of works at the Callide Oxyfuel demonstration plant in Biloela, Queensland.
The Australian and Queensland Governments have committed $50 million and $35 million respectively to the project, which will demonstrate technology capable of reducing emissions from a typical coal-fired power station by 90 per cent.
Minister Ferguson said: "This is the first project of its type anywhere in the world and governments and industry across the globe are keenly awaiting its results."
