Four bidders have pre-qualified in the UK government's competition to build a carbon capture and storage project. Business Secretary John Hutton said BP Alternative Energy International, EON UK, Peel Power and Scottish Power Generation were selected from nine contenders based on their responses to the pre-qualifica-tion questionnaire, submitted to the Department for Business at the end of March. The competition will support a demonstration of the full chain of CCS technologies (capture, transport and storage) on a commercial-scale coal-fired power plant. The selected project should capture 90 per cent of the CO_2 emitted by the equivalent of 300-400MW generating capacity.
