Accredited by:

SchWarZe PumPe SiTe viSiT: Coal has a future, carbon dioxide emissions don’t. This is the realisation that prompted Vattenfall to launch a research project on CO2 capture in 2001 and since then, Vattenfall has pioneered this green technology. Within this project the CCS technology implemented is very concrete: In 2006, construction began for the pilot plant in Schwarze Pumpe. On 29th May, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the CEO of Vattenfall’s Swedish parent company Vattenfall AB, Lars G. Josefsson attended the ground-breaking ceremony for the innovative project.

On September 9th 2008 Vattenfall inaugurated the world’s first Oxyfuel pilot plant on an industrial scale and including all components of the CCS-chain, on its Schwarze Pumpe site south of Berlin. The pilot plant will be in operation for 10 years, including a first test programme of three years. More than 90% of the CO2 produced in the combustion process in the pilot plant will be captured and further processed for transport and underground storage.

Don’t miss our landmark site visit to the world’s first Oxyfuel pilot plant at Schwarze Pumpe.

By attending this unique site visit you will gain a deeper understanding of the problems and lessons learned by Vattenfall as they built the first coal fired plant in the world to capture and store its own CO2 emissions.
