Canada biomass and coal plant trials oxy-PFBC process

Winnie Okello, P.E

Commissioning has been completed on a new thermal pilot plant in Ottowa, Canada, to advance the development of an oxygen-fired pressurized fluidized bed combustion (Oxy-PFBC) process.

The partners behind the project say that the Oxy-PFBC process generates electricity and heat with “near-zero emissions by economically capturing greenhouse gases created by biomass and coal combustion”.

US-based Gas Technology Institute (GTI) is partnering with the US Department of Energy, Natural Resources Canada and CanmetENERGY-Ottawa to validate the process, mature the technologies, and address technology gaps.

The collaboration between the US and Canada aims to advance …read more
