ABC News Australia: Shell, Qld Govt forge ‘clean coal’ research partnership
Saturday 18 June 2005
The Queensland Government has formed a research alliance with global oil giant Shell to develop clean coal technology and power.
Premier Peter Beattie met with senior Shell executives in New York yesterday, where they agreed to work together in the study.
Mr Beattie says the Government’s Stanwell Corporation is trying to capture coal as a competitively priced source of energy, while reducing carbon dioxide emissions to near-zero levels.
“Shell will work alongside Stanwell’s existing team of experts to deliver,” he said.
