Description

This unit describes the outcomes required to research requirements to confirm feasibility and design, and plan for a bio-char carbon storage system using forest or forestry related biomassGeneral workplace legislative and regulatory requirements apply to this unit; however there are no specific licensing or certification requirements at the time of publication

Notes

Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Assess bio-char carbon storage system feasibility

1.1. Applicable Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), environmental, legislative and organisational requirements relevant to planning a bio-char system for carbon capture and storage are identified and followed
1.2. Research into bio-char carbon storage systems is undertaken
1.3. Organisational need for a bio-char carbon storage system is explored
1.4. Context for the bio-char carbon storage system is investigated and clarified through consultation with users
1.5. User requirements are identified and documented
1.6. Environmental parameters are identified
1.7. Bio-char carbon storage system options are investigated and installation, operation and maintenance requirements are identified
1.8. Recommendations from the feasibility study are formulated

2. Determine facility requirements

2.1. Feed stock for the bio-char process is selected
2.2. Amount of feed stock that can be obtained for pyrolysis is calculated
2.3. Method of pyrolysis is selected based on feed stock and appropriate outputs
2.4. Cost of transportation of liquid and solid by-products is estimated
2.5. Amount of material to be processed is assessed
2.6. Ability to feed into the power grid is considered
2.7. Process conditions are determined

3. Design a bio-char carbon storage facility

3.1. Facility is designed to provide optimal conditions for carbon storage
3.2. Legal requirements or government regulations impacting on the proposed facility are identified and addressed
3.3. Design specification is documented and relevant information is communicated through plans, standard operating practice (SOP) manuals, records or reports
3.4. Overall operation and output of the proposed facility is reviewed to ensure that it meets the long-term directions and purposes of the organisation and is economically sustainable

4. Plan implementation of bio-char carbon storage facility

4.1. Construction plan is developed according to accepted design principles, organisational requirements and commissioning or start-up SOP
4.2. Work team's knowledge and skills are evaluated against the construction plan and works schedules, and the requirement for external expertise is determined and obtained
4.3. Material, resource and supply provision requirements are determined and documented from work plans, schedules and design specifications
4.4. Labour requirements are estimated based on work plans and schedules
4.5. Operating expense budget is determined indicating all input and output costs applicable to the proposed facility
