Rotterdamse electriciteitscentrale slaat mogelijk CO2 op

" consortium of companies that plan to build a 840-megawatt gas-fired power plant at the Dutch port of Rotterdam said on Monday they were considering the introduction of a technology for carbon capture and storage.

ENECOGEN, a joint-venture between Dutch utility Eneco and British power generator International Power Plc, said it was studying the technology, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.

Carbon capture and storage involves taking the heat-trapping gases that are a by-product of burning fossil fuels like coal and gas and burying them deep underground.

"If study results are positive, it is possible to add this technology to ENECOGEN at a later stage, first as a pilot and later on a full scale project," the company said in a statement."
