The project in SA will almost certainly proceed simply because there's too much at stake. Maintaining the viability of the steelworks is just too critical in a broader macro sense to the region.

Bearing in mind the SA project is effectively a hydrogen and oxygen supply for the steelworks with an added on power station for practical and economic reasons. It isn't really comparable to the others for that reason, it's directly tied to a specific practical use by an industry government really doesn't want to see fail.

I expect the Powerfuels project at Bell Bay, Tasmania, will also probably go ahead. I wouldn't say it's certain, but my personal view is it has a better chance than the others. It's not a given but the number crunching and assumptions do seem realistic and a lot of what's needed already exists.
