Kedzierzyn CCS Project

The Kedzierzyn Zero-Emission Power & Chemical Plant is proposed to include a coal gasification technology with Carbon capture and storage (CCS). It is planned to include up to 10% biomass in the combustion process.

The project is proposed to include a 300 megawatt lignite power station fueled with 1.6 million tonnes of lignite per year. The plant is proposed to produce 517,000 tonnes of methanol. It is proposed that the CCS plant would capture 2.5 million tonnes per year.
