Canada switches on world's first carbon capture power plant
2014-10-01 18:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Canada has switched on the first large-scale coal-fired power plant fitted with a technology that proponents say enables the burning of fossil fuels without tipping the world into a climate catastrophe. The project, the first commercial-scale plant equipped with carbon capture and storage technology, was held up by the coal industry as a real life example that it is possible to go on burning the dirtiest of fossil fuels while avoiding dangerous global warming. Saskatchewans state-owned electricity...

Canada: With groundbreaking, large-scale carbon capture finds home in oil patch
2014-09-09 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EnergyWire: The elusive dream of commercial carbon capture and storage may finally be moving closer to reality, in part thanks to the nation's crude oil boom. NRG Energy Inc. and its partner JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration Corp. broke ground Friday on a project here that both companies believe will be one for the record books. The 50-50 venture aims to pull carbon dioxide from the waste stream coming from a coal-fired power plant just southwest of Houston and make money by selling the CO2 to nearby oil producers....
Carbon capture & storage finally approaching debut
2014-08-23 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceNews: Carbon capture and storage can cut up to 90 percent of carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. With more than a dozen false starts, the technology has yet to be demonstrated on a commercial scale. Two projects nearing completion could soon change that. In 2008, it was set to become the worlds largest demonstration of just how cleanly coal could be burned to generate electricity. The revamping of an aging power plant in Germany, Jänschwalde was to become a paragon of a technology that can...
