Da frag ich mich ob das nicht ein Fall für Mr. Silverado werden könnte.
Noch ist in dieser Technik alles offen und die ersten Testanlagen sind am bauen oder werden noch gebaut.Was eigentlich zählt ist zu beweisen welche von diesen neuen Technologien das Potential hat alle Parteien zufriedenzustellen und auf alle Kohlentypen anwendbar sein wird.Silverado muss es schaffen , haben sie doch all die letzten Jahre für genau dieses Ziel gearbeitet.
Auf eine goldene Zukunft für uns alle
Schöne Grüsse
The TXU Corporation announced on Friday that it was making plans to build two power plants in Texas that would use advanced technology intended to capture carbon dioxide before it escapes into the atmosphere.
Nationwide, there are applications to build about 25 such generators, but that represents a small fraction of the proposed coal-fired plants. So far none have been built anywhere in the world.
“It’s time to start exploring how we bring better technology to Texas so we can generate clean, affordable, reliable power in the future,” Michael MacDougall, a Texas Pacific Group partner, said in a statement announcing the planning for the new generators.
Wichtig :
TXU, which is based in Dallas, said it would seek proposals from companies developing the new technology and would consult leading environmentalists while considering bids.
A study by the faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, “The Future of Coal in a Carbon-Constrained World,” scheduled for release next week, points to the importance of the kind of effort that TXU now says it embraces.
According to a draft circulated for peer review, carbon dioxide capture and sequestration is the critical technology that would reduce emissions significantly while also allowing coal to meet the world’s pressing energy needs.
Wichtig :
Under the previous management, TXU had argued that gasification would not work well on the local coal, which is lignite, because its moisture content is high and it takes more energy to turn into gas.
Mr. Hawkins said that the longer-term solution was a cap on carbon emissions.
