LETA is pleased to present our efforts in advancing emission reduction, particularly in the context of Australia and the Asia Pacific Region. LETA, backed by the Australian black coal industry, is committed to developing and implementing technologies that mitigate Scope 3 emissions across the coal value chain, focusing on sectors that are traditionally challenging to decarbonise.
 

Today, Australia’s economy includes significant volumes of energy intensive commodities that will be impacted by a global transition to a low carbon future. However, the natural resources sector is home to the world’s best engineering capability which means Australia is well positioned to simultaneously benefit from a low carbon transition – from rolling out new technologies to supporting the development of carbon stewardship within new, clean industries like hydrogen and ammonia. 

 

Our approach is global. We collaborate with industry, governments, research institutions and international partners in Japan and South Korea, leveraging our combined expertise to enhance the effectiveness and reach of our initiatives. 
 
 A flagship project for LETA is the CTSCo Project. This project involves a Post Combustion Capture (PCC) retrofit at the Millmerran power station with the aim to capture, transport, and securely store approximately 100,000 tonnes of CO2 annually for three years during the CO2 injection testing phase. Following this, we will monitor the underground CO2 plume, providing critical data and assurance to both the Queensland regulator and the public about the safety and effectiveness of CO2 storage in the Surat Basin. This project not only exemplifies LETA's commitment to carbon capture and storage but also serves as a beacon for future large-scale emission reduction projects.
