    The Globe and Mail reported that Saskatchewan’s state-owned utility, SaskPower, has opened the world’s first commercial-scale, coal-fired power plant with carbon capture and storage technology.

    The Globe and Mail reported that Saskatchewan’s state-owned utility, SaskPower, has opened the world’s first commercial-scale, coal-fired power plant with carbon capture and storage technology.

    As quoted in the publication:

    After Alberta Premier Jim Prentice disparaged carbon capture and storage (CCS) this summer as a “science experiment,” Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall said the $1.4-billion Boundary Dam project represents a major milestone in the quest for “environmentally sustainable coal power.”

    The refurbishment includes retooling the 110-megawatt coal-fired plant, adding solvent-based processors to strip away carbon dioxide, and then piping the CO2 to a nearby oil field where Cenovus Energy Inc. will use the gas in its enhanced-oil-recovery project. Most of the CO2 is expected to remain trapped in the oil-bearing structures.
