Bow City Power Project continues with CCS plans
Projects / Policy, Aug 07 2008 (Carbon Capture Journal)
- The proposed Bow City Power Project (Bow City), a 1,000 megawatt coal-fired power plant located approximately 185 km east of the City of Calgary, will include CCS.
The project is being developed by Bow City Power Ltd. (BCPL) and an application is expected to be submitted Q3 2008, with an estimated on-line date of 2014.
BCPL says Bow City has been designed from the outset to have the smallest feasible carbon footprint, using super-critical combustion technology to generate the lowest level of CO2 emissions per unit of power of any coal-fired power plant in Canada.
The project is continuing with plans to incorporate an amine scrubbing system capable of removing up to 90% of the project's CO2 emissions.
This will move Bow City's carbon emissions well below the requirements being proposed by government and make it Canada's first true "clean coal" power project, said BCPL.
The scrubbed CO2 is proposed to be permanently disposed of into nearby oil fields for enhanced oil recovery.
