Alstom - CO2 capture project in the United States
PARIS, February 27 (Reuters) - Alstom announced on Wednesday the launch of a CO2 capture project with two American partners, the EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) and the electrician We Energies.
In a press release, the French group indicates that it has designed, built and will operate this 1,7 MW system which captures the CO2 of part of the combustion gases from the coal boiler of the We Energies power plant located at Pleasant Prairie (Wisconsin), with a total capacity of 1 MW.
"The process uses refrigerated ammonia to capture the CO2 and isolate it at high concentration and under high pressure", says Alstom, adding that laboratory tests have shown a potential to capture more than 90% of C02 at a cost much lower than other existing technologies. / YLG
