Far more doubts exist however regarding the carbon sequestration technology. Prototype
sites are being installed in Europe and the U.S. and hopefully they will perform well.
Thus far, there are few concrete results. So it is indeed not entirely accurate to call
this an %u2018available technology%u2019.

Before the new regulation went into effect last month, two new coal-fired power plants
were being proposed in British Columbia. One of these is currently investigating the
feasibility of CCS while the second will most probably switch to 100 per cent biomass.


Sounds like ThermoEnergy and BC are a perfect match.

It is hoped that the new policy will stimulate the building of Integrated Gasification
Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plants. Coal gasification makes carbon capture easier than
with traditional coal pulverization. It also has the additional advantage that it results
in lower NOx and SO2 emissions. IGCC power plants are 10 to 15 per cent more expensive to
build than pulverized coal plants, but the IGCC technology is ready for commercial use.
One fifth of new coal plants proposed since 2000 use IGCC.

Far more doubts exist however re

check the links...thought they would be clickable, but need to put in to see.

A new provincial policy in British Columbia, Canada, requires new coal-fired power plants
in the province to emit no carbon dioxide. This is a very progressive regulation that will
hopefully challenge other governments to consider similar measures. According to Richard
Neufeld, British Columbia%u2019s energy minister, the policy calls for %u2018the best
available technology%u2019. Critics however say that the policy is asking for more than
current technology can deliver.
