• DOE, Natural Resources Canada Announce Pilot Plant to Advance Oxy-Combustion Carbon Capture (Oct 2016)
  The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Canada’s Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) today announced the opening of a new 1 Megawatt Thermal (MWth) facility to test an advanced process to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from coal-fired power plants. The announcement was made during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the facility in Ottawa.

This project focuses on development of an oxygen-fired pressurized fluidized-bed combustor (Oxy-PFBC). The Oxy-PFBC operates at high pressure and improved efficiency, lowering capital and operating cost, and incorporates limestone injection to facilitate SO2 removal, reducing emission control equipment costs. Specifically, this project will design, build, and test a small-pilot scale Oxy-PFBC combustor to provide data necessary for scale-up.
