WHAT:

The dedication of a pilot project in Wisconsin that uses

chilled ammonia to capture carbon dioxide CO2. The

project will capture CO2 from a portion of coal-fueled

boiler flue gas at a We Energies 1,124-megawatt power

plant in Wisconsin.

WHY:

As the country and electric utility sector look to

reduce carbon emissions, research and development of new

technologies are critical steps in meeting the twin

challenges of increasing demand and reducing emissions.

This project is an essential step in the R&D process

that may lead to commercialization.
