The Australian Government is spending about $US109 million to test the viability of four clean coal technology projects.
The Government has allocated the funding to two coal-fired power stations in Queensland, a plant in Western Australia, and another in Victoria's Latrobe Valley.
Energy Minister Martin Ferguson says the projects will need to prove the technology by 2011.
"The independent assessment panel has decided that these four projects represent our best opportunities at the moment for the potential commercial deployment of carbon capture and storage in Australia," he said.
