Sydney, 3 June (Argus) — Australia's Foreign Investment Review Board has approved Chinese state-owned CNOOC's participation in the proposed 27,400 b/d Arckaringa coal-to-liquids (CTL) project in South Australia.

The Arckaringa CTL project also plans to build a 560MW electricity generation plant to power the CTL facility.

CNOOC and its joint-venture partner UK listed miner Altona are planning a business feasibility study, which will take up to 15 months, to determine the feasibility of the project.

Altona has bought licensed CTL technology, which will be used to gasify the coal and turn it into a liquid equivalent of low-sulphur diesel, as well as naphtha and jet fuel. A gas by-product will be used to fuel a 560MW power station from which power will be sold to the grid, boosting electricity generation.
