CCPC Gasification Contract for Jacobs
These plants will incorporate carbon dioxide capture for subsurface sequestration to help meet Canadian targets for the reduction of carbon emissions. The study includes preliminary engineering for a commercial size demonstration plant for installation in Canada. The CCPC was created in 2000 to protect and enhance Canada's vast coal and other carbon-based resource wealth and to ensure that environmental public policy decisions recognized that these resources were a Canadian asset, not an environmental liability. The CCPC represents power generators and coal suppliers of over 90 percent of Canada's coal-fired power generation. Their goal is to develop a demonstration project at commercial utility scale, which will allow all emissions, including CO(2), to be controlled to meet all foreseeable new regulatory requirements. The emissions target will allow a coal-fired plant to be as clean as a modern natural gas combined cycle plant. Find out more about Jacobs Search for more Jacobs News Posted 14/01/05 |
