‘Powering Queensland beyond Carbon Tax and LNG exports – options for Queensland’s future base load power’

The shape of Queensland’s power industry is about to change with the rapid development of coal seam methane to LNG projects, significant development in the coal export industry and the introduction of carbon pricing.

During this presentation Andrew Murdoch, PB’s Queensland Power Generation Team Executive, will provide a briefing on recognised base load power generation technologies suitable for Queensland, their relative costs and carbon intensity with a view to stimulating discussion on the Carbon Tax issue that will have significant impact on the state’s sustainability and economy.
