Gas power stations

Gas fired power stations are less emissions intensive than both brown and black coal fired power stations. Natural gas burns more cleanly than other Hydrocarbon fuels, such as oil and coal, and produces less carbon dioxide per unit of energy released.

Significant increases in energy demand and gas exploration, and the development of coal seam gas, has resulted in enormous growth in the Australian gas mining industry. Additionally, there is an abundance of natural gas and coal seam gas. Major gas fields are being developed in the north west of Western Australia and in Queensland.

Whilst there are presently more coal fired power stations than gas fired power stations in the world, over coming decades this balance is likely to change due to pressure to upgrade power station units to cleaner, lower emissions fuel sources.

MBD Energy’s CO2 to Energy Algal Sequestration technology is of enormous potential benefit to gas fired power stations and to the gas exploration and mining sector. The technology can be retro-fitted existing gas fired power stations or can be designed into new gas powered projects – making a comparatively clean energy and electricity source even cleaner – and (given the price on carbon) even cheaper and more efficient.

The technology can also assist with the management and sequestration of methane emissions and also bioremediation of water associated with gas exploration and mining projects, including coal seam gas.

Algal feed & food Global demand for consumable proteins is soaring, creating increased demand for animal and fish feeds as feedstock to grow the animal proteins we enjoy consuming. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has identified diminishing food security as a major threat to mankind over coming decades.
