Coal is still a dirty way to generate electricity even if CO2 is taken out of the equation, and the technology is much easier with gas anyway.<br /><br />The big problem is where to store the CO2, so unless there's something very special about Wrecsam that I don't know about, I can't see any reason to be too optimistic about your new power station being suitable. To my mind, the obvious beneficiary will be the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10552954" rel="nofollow">Peterhead</a> scheme. The thing that makes it stand out as a scheme is that pumping in the CO2 will at the same time help BP get a little bit more production from what would otherwise become an exhausted field. The <a href="http://www.snp.org/node/7914" rel="nofollow">SNP</a> wanted to press ahead a few years ago, but Labour refused to put in place a pricing mechanism (either a carbon credit or a ROC) and BP decided to try it in <a href="http://news.scotsman.com/scotland/Peterhead39s-doomed--BP-.3699878.jp" rel="nofollow">Abu Dhabi</a> instead. So it would be good to see the idea resurrected.<br /><br />I don't know what the details of your power station are, but to my mind building a power station to serve an industrial estate is a good idea only as a combined heat and power scheme in which the waste heat from generation can be used by customers on the estate. That is good in and of itself, irrespective of whether the CO2 can be captured.MHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329059309196746446noreply@blogger.com
