Another piece of the carbon capture puzzle is coming together, as the team behind the Aquistore project prepares for the first round of carbon dioxide injection.

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.

Today, marked the official opening of the carbon capture and storage operations at Unit 3 of the Boundary Dam Power Station in Estevan.

The day has finally arrived. The eagerly anticipated launching of the refurbished Boundary Dam, Unit 3, complete with its carbon dioxide capture island, is set for an official christening tomorrow.
