Southern Company says Alabama carbon capture facility is now capturing carbon

摘要

In an environment where "carbon" has become one of the scare words used by people who worship at the altar of global warming/climate change/weather-related apocalypse, Southern Company had good news coming from its Alabama Power-owned Plant Barry near Mobile, AL. The utility said its carbon capture and storage facility -the largest of its kind for a coal-fired power plant - is capturing and storing carbon. The CCS facility is capturing and storing the equivalent of emissions from a 25-MW plant in a "deep saline geologic formation."
