Alstom, Drax Enlist BOC Group for Carbon-Capture Project in England
Alstom SA (ALO) and Drax Group Plc enlisted BOC Group Plc, a U.K. gas manufacturer, to help develop a carbon-capture and storage project in northern England.
BOC Group, based in Guildford, will work on the 426- megawatt plant to trap and store power-generation emissions under development at Drax’s site in North Yorkshire, the companies said today in joint e-mailed statement. BOC, a unit of Munich-based Linde AG (LIN), will contribute its air-separation technology as well as plant engineering, according to the statement.
The project’s developers plan to apply for funding from a U.K. government contest to finance plants demonstrating so- called carbon-capture and storage technology, according to the statement. The plant already applied to receive funds under the NER 300 program devised by the European Commission to assist renewable technologies and carbon capture, the companies said in the statement.
