Alstom, Drax, BOC form new carbon capture storage company

The consortium has formed a project company, Capture Power Limited (Capture Power), and named the CCS demonstration project the ‘White Rose CCS Project’ after the county symbol of Yorkshire, where the project is based.

The White Rose CCS Project will burn coal with the potential to co-fire sustainable biomass and be fully equipped with CCS technology from the outset. The 426MW (gross) power plant will be located on land adjacent to Drax’s existing power station, near Selby, North Yorkshire.

The plant will generate enough electricity to supply the equivalent needs of over 630,000 homes with 90 percent of all the CO2 produced by the plant being captured and transported by pipeline for permanent storage deep beneath the North Sea seabed.
