Fluor to Lead Greenhouse Gas Study

Fluor have announced that they have been selected by the International Energy Agency Greenhouse Gas Research and Development Program to conduct a study on the capture and recovery of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the power industry.

Fluor will be working with Mitsui Babcock, Alstom Power and Imperial College London to determine the cost options for capture and recovery of CO2 from natural gas combined-cycle and pulverized-coal fueled power generation plants. The study will investigate many unresolved issues on capture technology integration into a power plant. The team will also visualize likely technology developments over the next two decades and will produce road maps for the introduction of this technology.

Fluor's office in Camberley, U.K., will lead the work with input from the company's global technology and industry teams that work on cutting-edge technologies and are located around the world. The study is due to be completed by April 2004.

The IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Program is an international collaboration of member organizations which evaluates technologies for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and disseminates the results of these evaluations to identify and promote targets for research, development and demonstration.
