AES says emissions lower than figures cited at public meeting
At a public meeting in Dawson Inn AES West North America business development head Tom Kunde disputed environmental groups' numbers as massively overstated. He noted AES will publish its own emissions data during project application while describing the Tumbler Ridge plant as a clean coal facility using a fluidized bed boiler and limestone to reduce pollutants. The $500 million, 184 MW plant near the Heritage Highway would connect to BC Hydro through a 35 km line, with Hillsborough Resources partnering to mine 750 hectares to fuel the facility.
