Britain plans power station capable of capturing 90 pct CO2 emissions
LONDON, May 15 (Xinhua) — The British government announced Friday that it will fund the industrial research and feasibility work of a proposed coal-gasification power station, which will be equipped with carbon-capture-storage (CCS) technology and can capture and store 90 percent CO2 emissions.
According to a statement from the government, a total amount of 4.2 million pounds (6.62 million U.S. dollars) will be provided for the research of the project, which is planned to be built in Grangemouth, Scotland.
This large scale low-carbon power project aims to combine and integrate state-of-the-art coal gasification, 579 megawatt power generation, and carbon capture technologies in a single facility, according to an official statement.
