There’s no doubt concern over greenhouse gas emissions, pollution and climate change are putting pressure on the coal industry to improve or abandon that resource.

Darren Alessandrini<\/span> is Senior Manager of Natural Resources and Business Development for Capital Power. <\/p>\n

As Darren explains, there’s ongoing research into making coal burn cleaner. <\/p>\n

And along with biomass and gasification, Capital power is moving towards new technologies.  

DARREN ALESSANDRINI:<\/span>  As an example, Capital Power funded a fairly large engineering study to look at integrated gasification combined cycle which is a technology that essentially  converted the coal  into a synthetic gas,  and then burn the gas in a gas turbine, very similar to what we do at Cloverbar or what we’re proposing on Genesee 4 and 5.  And by doing so, you’re able to extract some of the CO2 before the gas is combusted.  So that technology looked very promising but  also very, very costly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Darren Alessandrini also points to Sask Power’s retrofit of one of its coal plants where  90 percent of the carbon dioxide is captured and recycled.  <\/p>\n
