The document announces an upcoming conference on exploring power plant emission reduction technologies and strategies. It will take place on October 13-14, 2009 in Berlin, Germany and feature presentations from 11 leading European utilities. Attendees will learn about evaluating EU emission guidelines, achieving lower emissions through carbon capture and storage, biomass co-firing, and examining R&D for zero emissions. Speakers will include representatives from utilities, the European Commission, and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. The agenda covers topics like the EU Climate and Energy Package, progress on CCS pilots, reducing NOx and SOx, biomass potential in China, and clean coal technology.

4. SchWarZe PumPe SiTe viSiT:
Coal has a future, carbon dioxide emissions don’t. This is
the realisation that prompted Vattenfall to launch a research
project on CO2 capture in 2001 and since then, Vattenfall
has pioneered this green technology. Within this project
the CCS technology implemented is very concrete: In 2006,
construction began for the pilot plant in Schwarze Pumpe.
On 29th May, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the CEO
of Vattenfall’s Swedish parent company Vattenfall AB, Lars
G. Josefsson attended the ground-breaking ceremony for the
innovative project.
On September 9th 2008 Vattenfall inaugurated the world’s
first Oxyfuel pilot plant on an industrial scale and including
all components of the CCS-chain, on its Schwarze Pumpe
site south of Berlin. The pilot plant will be in operation for 10
years, including a first test programme of three years. More
than 90% of the CO2 produced in the combustion process
in the pilot plant will be captured and further processed for
transport and underground storage.
Don’t miss our landmark site visit to the world’s first Oxyfuel
pilot plant at Schwarze Pumpe.
By attending this unique site visit you will gain a deeper
understanding of the problems and lessons learned by
Vattenfall as they built the first coal fired plant in the world to
capture and store its own CO2 emissions.
