First Ever Net-Zero Natural Gas Power Plants Proposed for Colorado, Illinois
Investment firm 8 Rivers Capital LLC has unveiled plans to build what could be the first pair of net-zero natural gas-fired power plants in the world.
One facility would be in Decatur, IL, with a second on the Southern Ute Indian Reservation in Colorado. Each would generate 280 MW.
The announcements follow plans by utilities, cities and states to lower their carbon footprints in a bid to combat climate change. 8 Rivers Principal Adam Goff said the Coyote Clean Power Project in Colorado would market power to a number of different municipalities and other entities on and off the reservation.
