"The Weir" (a dam-like boundary on a river, altering the water's flow) brings four old (and young) cronies and a female visitor together for an evening of heavy drinking and spooky storytelling.
Finally, the letter addresses EPA's claims about the performance at the Boundary Dam and Petra Nova facilities.
The leading large-scale post-combustion CCS plant is the $1.5bn Boundary Dam project, run by Sask Power in Canada and due to enter service in 2014.
SaskPower could afford to build the $1.2 billion plant partly because lignite is so cheap, but also because Boundary Dam is adjacent to a lignite strip mine.
A comparison is also made of all the results obtained from the UR technology development pilot plant with those obtained from the boundary dam demonstration plant.
The University of Regina has successfully re-commissioned a CO2 Extraction Pilot Plant at SaskPower's 875 MW Boundary Dam Power Station in southern Saskatchewan, Canada.
Fluor Corp will provide front-end engineering for CO2 capture for the SaskPower Boundary Dam Integrated Carbon Capture and Sequestration Demonstration project in Estevan, Saskatchewan, Canada.
SNC-Lavalin is to provide engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services for SaskPower's Boundary Dam Integrated Carbon Capture and Sequestration Demonstration Project in Saskatchewan, Canada.
Boundary dam, a power plant in Estevan, Saskatchewan, is the first commercial coal-fired plant to capture carbon dioxide from its emissions, compress the gas, and bury it underground.
Boundary Dam and the other projects operate roughly the same way: Carbon dioxide gas, highly compressed so that it acts like a liquid, is injected into a formation, usually sandstone and often an old oil or gas field.
Under Canadian regulations, the Boundary Dam power station can release no more than 420 tons of carbon dioxide per gigawatt-hour of power generation the same as a state-of-the-art plant fired with natural gas.
