For a long time, Estevan’s prospects have been tied to the success of coal mining and the continuation of burning coal to produce power.

The opening of the project at BD3 doesn’t mark the end of the carbon capture story but the beginning of a much longer saga that will see the continued use of coal power for much longer than we otherwise would.

The whole point behind the carbon capture project at Boundary Dam Power Station was to cut pollution. While nobody is disputing the project, which opened on Oct.

SaskPower’s most expensive project ever is now in full functioning flight.
