Scottish and Southern Energy plc (SSE.L) said it is about to submit a planning application to Wakefield Metropolitan District Council to seek consent to develop the UK's biggest carbon dioxide capture trial facility at its Ferrybridge coal-fired power station near Castleford in Yorkshire.
The £21 million trial will be carried out in collaboration with Doosan Babcock and other partners and will demonstrate the carbon dioxide capture element of carbon capture and storage technology. It is hoped construction work will start next year, with the trial itself commencing in early 2011 and running through to the end of 2012.
