one is capturing the carbon and burying it. that is an important technology we have to develop. if nothing else, there is industrial facilities that are emitting co 2 that we don t yet know how to do those industrial processes in a zero carbon way. we have no choice but to capture the carbon and bury it. we need to develop that technology. the idea to use it to keep coal plants alive is a farce. if you bolt one of these facilities on to it, and miraculously can make it work, best case scenario, it s billions more dollars. and an energy penalty of something like a third of the energy the plant creates to run the carbon capture facility. right. the whole idea of clean coal was always ridiculous. that s a great point.

BD3 CCS Facility Reaches 4 Million Tonne Milestone
The following commentary by Brent Jacobs, P.Eng. is a statement on behalf of the International CCS Knowledge Centre.
It takes courage to be first. And now with SaskPower’s ground-breaking Boundary Dam 3 CCS Facility (BD3) having captured and prevented four million tonnes (4Mt) of CO
2 from entering the atmosphere, it is a milestone worth celebrating.
REGINA, Saskatchewan, March 31, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) This amount of carbon mitigation not only has the equivalent emissions impact of taking approximately 865,000 cars off the road for a year
i, but it also underscores the value and large-scale impact of being tenacious in application-based learning and advancements.
