Tenaska coal plant could redefine clean energy in Texas
A proposed private project nine miles east of Sweetwater in Nolan County would cost over 3 billion dollars and generate about 600 megawatts. It would capture 85 to 90 percent of carbon dioxide emissions and pipe CO2 to West Texas oilfields to boost recovery, funding the venture through CO2 sales. If successful, it could retrofit other U.S. coal plants and push federal incentives while awaiting air permits from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
