| Statoil to test Alstom's CO2 capture technology at refinery in Norway Alstom, the French-based engineering multinational, has signed a joint development contract with Norway’s largest gas and oil company Statoil, to test Alstom's chilled ammonia technology for CO2 capture from flue gases particular to natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plants. The objective of the agreement covers the design and construction of a 40MW test and product validation facility at Statoil's Mongstad refinery in Norway. This facility will be designed to capture at least 80,000 tons per year of CO2 from flue gases from the refinery's cracker unit or from a new combined heat and power plant being built by Statoil and scheduled to be in operation by 2010. The test and product validation facility is expected to enter operation by 2009-2010 with the first operation and testing phase to last 12-18 months. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
