SaskPower Integrated CCS Demonstration Project at Boundary Dam Unit 3
Nominators: Canada (lead) and the United States
This is a large-scale project, located in the southeastern corner of Saskatchewan Province in Canada, which will be the first application of full stream CO2 recovery from flue gas of a 139 megawatt coal-fueled power plant unit. A major goal is to demonstrate that a post-combustion CO2 capture retrofit on a commercial power plant can achieve optimal integration with the thermodynamic power cycle and with power production at full commercial scale. The project will result in capture of approximately one million tonnes of CO2 per year, which will be sold to oil producers for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and injected into a deep saline aquifer. Commissioning of the reconfigured power plant unit is expected by early 2014. The project has received financial support from the Government of Canada and the Saskatchewan Provincial Government, and SaskPower is investing additional funds for refurbishment of the power plant unit and installation of the CO2 capture system.
