CCS in Coal power plants funded by UK Gov
UK Funds Research on CCS in Coal Power plants
Funding was awarded to E.ON and ScottishPower for design and development studies as part of the UK's CCS demonstration competition.
This is one of the first set of studies of end-to-end commercial scale CCS on coal power plant in the world and will be used by project developers to examine and refine initial plans and reduce technical risk, so that more detailed project plans can be drawn-up and costed, said the government.
The funding is drawn from a pot of £90 million announced in the 2009 Budget. The precise amounts awarded to E.ON and ScottishPower are commercially confidential.
The UK has the most ambitious commitments on coal generation and CCS in the world. A Bill currently being considered by Parliament introduces a first-of-a-kind levy to support four CCS demonstrations in the UK. The Government will launch a competitive process for the three other projects by the end of 2010, provided the levy is passed.

CCS is the only technology that tackles carbon emissions from fossil fuel power stations and given the world’s dependence on coal, is a vital technology to securing the world’s future energy needs and tackling climate change.
The real work of finally making CCS a commercial reality begins, as this funding will now enable ScottishPower to take the technology from concept to design stage. It will tell us exactly what we need to know so that we can quickly build this new and essential technology.
