North Dakota Senator Visits World-Leading Carbon Capture Project
Premier Brad Wall today welcomed the visit by Senator Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) as she toured SaskPower’s Boundary Dam Project near Estevan.
“When I met with Senator Heitkamp in Washington back in March, she expressed a great deal of interest in the Boundary Dam Project,” Wall said. “I’m glad her interest and enthusiasm for this groundbreaking project has continued and I welcome her to our province.”
Boundary Dam is the world’s largest commercial-scale coal fired carbon capture and storage (CCS) facility. Construction began in May of 2011. The project continues on time and on budget, with commercial operations set to begin in April of 2014.
On completion, the CCS technology at the plant will reduce emissions by up to 90 per cent. The CO2 captured at Boundary Dam will be used for enhanced oil recovery, or stored in a deep saline formation at the Petroleum Technology Research Centre’s Aquistore Project.
“With the federal and provincial investments in carbon capture technology to date, I can think of no other jurisdiction in the world that is beating Saskatchewan’s per capita investment in advanced clean energy technology,” Wall said. “This project is a great example of just how serious Canada and Saskatchewan are when it comes to controlling greenhouse gas emissions.”
A recent report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) states coal fuels 42 per cent of global electricity production and is likely to remain a key component of the world’s fuel mix for electrical production in the future, especially in developing countries. The IEA says CO2 capture and storage will have a significant impact on both existing and future plants.
