Perfectly captured

摘要

The UK's largest carbon-capture pilot plant has opened at Ferrybridge power station in West Yorkshire. The project—a collaboration between SSE, Doosan Power Systems and Vattenfall and supported by the Technology Strategy Board, DECC and Northern Way—is the first of its size to be integrated into a live power plant in the UK. The plant bridges the gap between the various pilot-scale trials that are under way and the commercial-scale demonstration projects envisaged by the UK government, as it captures 100 tonnes of carbon dioxide per day from the equivalent 5MW of coal-fired power-generating capacity.
