Cleaner
coal? Can coal make a comeback as an important part
of the power mix thanks to new technologies that are allowing
it to clean up its act? This report visits the Dakota Gasification
Plant and follows the CO2 pipeline
to the Weyburn Field. CO2 produced
from the Dakota Gasification plant is being piped to Weyburn
and used in an enhanced oil recovery project. (Click
here for more information on the IEA GHG Weyburn Project).

In Salah Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Project Background information and up to date news on the project. In Salah, in Algeria, is operated by BP, Sonatrach and StatoilHydro. This joint venture has overseen the capture and storage of one million tonnes a year of CO2 from its natural gas refinery. Since 2004 the project has compressed, dehydrated, transported (via two pipelines) and stored the CO2 in a deep saline formation close to the gas-field. Three state-of-the-art horizontal wells are used to store the CO2 2km below ground. The storage formation is a low-permeability Carboniferous Sandstone, which is commonly found in the USA, northwest Europe and China - regions with high CO2 emissions
