Unique CO2 capture test results achieved at Värtaverket plant in Stockholm

CO2 Emissions can be Reduced Quickly(Stockholm – Oslo, 17 June 2008) Scandinavian power group Fortum and Norwegian clean energy specialist Sargas today made public the final result of their cooperative work on a experimental pilot project for capturing CO2 from coal power production at the Värtaverket plant in Stockholm. The result of the experiment gave an average capture rate of over 95 per cent. The results confirm that a functional cleansing technique is now available to be taken into use.If all new coal power stations to be built in the world were based on Sargas’ technology, the
