How do we know how effective our attempts to reduce emissions really are? While few debate the need to reduce emissions from energy generation, many disagree on the methods used for measurement. We find out from experts at the UK National Physical Laboratory’s Centre for Carbon Measurement what it takes to measure carbon accurately and consistently.
We also look into Australia and China’s new alliance for the development of emissions reduction technologies for fossil fuel plants and investigate the latest research on the feasibility of large-scale carbon capture and storage, as well as profiling two plants that are being equipped with CCS capability: the retrofitted Boundary Dam coal-fired plant in Canada, and Australia’s Hazelwood station.
Moreover, we ask how the industry can encourage private sector investment, from carbon trading to green power auctions, and find out how fuel cells could enable more clean power generation off the grid.

Industry Project: Boundary Dam Retrofit and CCS Integration
We take a look at the retrofit of the Boundary Dam coal-fired plant in Saskatchewan, Canada, which will allow for the integration of carbon capture and sequestration equipment.

Industry Project: Hazelwood Power Station, Australia
The 1675MW Hazelwood power station is one of three major carbon capture and storage demonstration projects underway as part of Australia’s CO2CRC programme.

Next issue: No Breaks in the Service
In the next issue we zoom in on operations and the maintenance regimes that keep power plants running smoothly. We ask operators of coal-fired plants how they are boosting efficiency while making power generation cleaner, and find out how nuclear operators can increase plant availability in a time where the average capacity of nuclear reactors has plateaued.
We also explore how landfill gas-to-energy plants are operated and monitored to prevent gas migration and explosions. As wind power matures, operators need advanced monitoring tools to keep services online. We look at the systems that can help to keep disruptions to a minimum, and also find out how wind assessment tools can help operators to achieve the best possible output from new wind farms.
Moreover, as the number of marine energy projects grows, we ask operators of pilot installations how underwater equipment is maintained on site at sea.
