The ground-breaking project, believed to be the first of its kind, is privately financed and will capture CO2 at just $30 per/tonne – much lower than the $60-90 per tonne capture costs typically observed in the global power sector. The captured CO2 will then be used by Indian firm, Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers (TACFL), for soda ash production.
The announcement comes following the successful completion of CCSL’s pilot testing programme at Technology Centre Mongstad, the world’s largest and most advanced facility for testing and improving CO2 capture. The pilot yielded results that showed that use of CCSL’s solvent dramatically reduced emission levels and lowered corrosion, while improving system reliability.World's first commercially viable, zero emissions coal-fired power plant
Carbon Clean Solutions Limited (CCSL) have launched a new project that will see more than 60,000 tonnes of CO2 captured from a 10 megawatt coal-fired power station in India. Post-start up, the power station is set to become a zero-emission plant.
