The long-awaited announcement that a carbon capture test facility that will be linked to SaskPower's Shand Power Station near Estevan was made Tuesday morning when Hitachi Ltd. and SaskPower said they were forming a partnership to construct the $60 million unit.
This add-on component will allow international developers the opportunity to fully evaluate system performances in terms of capturing carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired thermal power plants.
SaskPower and Hitachi will share the construction costs equally and SaskPower will serve as owner and operator of the carbon capture test facility (CCTF).
