This is a feasibility study by RWE npower to build a 2400
MW supercritical clean coal power station on the site of the former Blyth
Power Station. The new station would save over 3 million tones of carbon dioxide
per year with facilities to burn carbon neutral fuels such as biomass at a
later date. The power station would also be built carbon capture ready (post-combustion).

Part of a feasibility study by Scottish Power to convert the
Longannet and Cockenzie power plants to clean coal technology by fitting supercritical
turbines and boilers. The plants would incorporate post-combustion carbon
capture technology and with a combined generation capacity of 3390MW, the
new plants could reduce carbon emissions by 20%.

This is a joint venture between Progressive Energy and Centrica
to potentially develop an 800 MW clean coal project with pre-combustion carbon
capture and storage. Two new companies have been set up; Coastal Energy which
will own the power station, and COOTS Ltd, which will own the CO2 pipeline
assets.

The Scottish and Southern Energy Ferrybridge Power Station
in West Yorkshire will be developed as a 500 MW clean coal power station,
and will be built capture ready to incorporate post-combustion carbon capture
and storage at a later date. Once built, the power station will save 500,000
tonnes of carbon dioxide per year and a further 1.7 million tonnes when the
carbon capture technology is added.

This 450 MW IGCC coal-fired power station is being considered
by E.ON UK, to be built next to the existing Killingholme gas-fired station.
The project would be built in separate phases, with pre-combustion carbon
capture and storage fitted as a second phase for storage in depleted gas fields
under the North Sea.

Plans to build two new supercritical units of 800 MW at the
Kingsnorth coal-fired power station in Kent have been announced by E.ON UK.
The units would be built next to the existing power station, reducing carbon
emissions by 2 million tonnes per year. The units would be designed as capture
ready, to be fitted with post-combustion carbon capture and storage at a later
stage.

RWE npower have announced a feasibility study into the construction
of a 1000 MW supercritical coal power station at Tilbury, Essex. The plant
would incorporate post-combustion carbon capture and storage and could be
operational by 2016, saving up to 90% of the plants carbon dioxide emissions
per year.

Peterhead
A joint venture by BP and Scottish and Southern Energy, this is a hydrogen
power project at Peterhead, Scotland, which would convert natural gas into
hydrogen to fuel a 350 MW power station, whilst using carbon capture and storage
to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1.2 million tonnes per year.
