Fluor Corp. and E.ON Energie AG (E.ON) have announced that the two companies have formed a strategic partnership for the development of a retrofitted pilot plant using Fluor's commercially-proven Econamine FG+ carbon capture technology. The pilot plant, retrofitted to the existing coal-fired power plant, will be designed for a flue gas volume flow of about 16,000cum per hour. The pilot plant will commence operation in 2010 at E.ON's coal-fired power plant in Wilhelmshaven, Germany. At this same Wilhelmshaven site, a second project is also planned. This project, called "50plus", is a coal-fired power plant which is expected to achieve an efficiency of more than 50% by 2014. |
