Pre-feasibility Study Looking to Progress CO2 Capture

Share

REGINA, Saskatchewan, June 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amplifying the impact of emission reductions through carbon capture and storage (CCS) is the focus of a new pre-feasibility study exploring the potential application of carbon dioxide (CO2) capture on 750-megawatt coal-fired power plants. This project is part of a broad study examining the viability of a regional commercial-scale geologic CO2 storage hub in the Southeastern U.S. The International CCS Knowledge Centre (Knowledge Centre), based in Regina, SK Canada, is collaborating with an international team on the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)-funded project to develop the conceptual designs and capital cost estimates evaluating the installation of post combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture on a Southern Company electrical generating station.

The project would represent a significant scale-up and is a natural progression in the maturation of carbon capture technology. By bringing leadership, vision and experience based on its substantive learnings from both the fully integrated Boundary Dam 3 CCS Facility and its comprehensive second-generation CCS study (Shand CCS Feasibility Study), the Knowledge Centre is performing the carbon capture pre-feasibility study of the scenario. This study is being conducted through a cooperative agreement with the project manager, Southern States Energy Board, and a team that includes Southern Company, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, and Stantec Consulting Ltd.

This study is part of the project, Establishing An Early Carbon Dioxide Storage: Project ECO2S, under a broad DOE National Energy Technology Laboratory initiative, Carbon Storage Assurance Facility Enterprise(CarbonSAFE). CarbonSAFE addresses key gaps on the critical path toward CCUS deployment by reducing technical risk, uncertainty, and cost of a geologic storage complex for more than 50 million metric tons of CO2 over a 30-year time frame from industrial sources.

The pre-feasibility study will look at carbon capture design and cost. It will include details such as an analysis on steam integration options between the generating unit and the capture plant, as well as the identification of potential impacts of the new processes on existing plant environmental permitting. The theoretical installation of carbon capture systems at power plants would not only ensure reliable baseload electricity, it would preserve the value of the existing facility, while also actively making significant strides in reducing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.

“With the megatonne potential in CO2 reduction, we are excited to work with a great team on this important and next step project for large-scale carbon capture and storage. We applaud both the US Department of Energy and the Southern States Energy Board for their commitment to taking significant strides toward climate action.”

- Conway Nelson, VP, Project Development & Advisory Services, International CCS Knowledge Centre

“Stantec is proud to play a role in the first-of-its kind carbon capture and storage work in Saskatchewan as the Engineer of Record on this project. Stantec’s team of experts will provide engineering expertise alongside our partners to execute the pre-feasibility study stage of this project.”

- Mark Griffiths, Senior Principal, Energy & Resources, Stantec, Saskatchewan

C.K. McWhorter Slams Nelson Peltz For Attempting To Ruin Disney's Luxury Essence and Visionary Future29.3.2024 15:23:03 CET | Press release

PALM BEACH, Fla., March 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- McWhorter, the luminary investor with an eye for luxury, delivers a blistering retort to Nelson Peltz's antiquated views, revealing his profound misunderstanding of Disney's status as a pinnacle of luxury and innovation. With surgical precision, McWhorter exposes Peltz's detachment from diverse communities and insular worldview, highlighting the glaring gap between Peltz's outdated mindset and Disney's forward-thinking ethos. "At 81 years old, Nelson Peltz's understanding of luxury seems frozen in time, much like the era in which he was born," McWhorter declares. "His failure to grasp the true essence of Disney as a luxury brand underscores his limited exposure to diverse perspectives and his residence within the protective bubble of privilege." In a scathing indictment of Peltz's remarks, McWhorter dismantles the notion that Disney's inclusive storytelling is incompatible with luxury, asserting that diversity and representation are

McWhorter Foundation Combats Nelson Peltz’s Outdated Ideologies and Advocates for Sustainable Inclusivity In Corporate Leadership29.3.2024 06:59:56 CET | Press release

PALM BEACH, Calif., March 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- C.K. McWhorter, chairman of the McWhorter Foundation, voices concerns over outdated perspectives in corporate leadership, exemplified by recent remarks from Nelson Peltz regarding Disney's film direction. After encountering instances of racism and exclusivity on Town of Palm Beach Island (known as home to Jeffrey Epstein, Nelson Peltz and others), McWhorter reflects on the disconnect between elite boardroom discussions and the realities faced by diverse communities. While briefly meeting Nelson Peltz and shaking hands after both departed separate lunches, McWhorter initially respected his insights. However, recent comments made by Peltz suggesting Disney should avoid inclusive films have raised eyebrows and prompted McWhorter to speak out. "It's concerning when influential figures like Peltz advocate against inclusivity in entertainment," McWhorter comments. "The future is in diversity and representation, especially as millennial a
