PORTSMOUTH – At a time when public support is mounting for capping carbon dioxide on power plants and more federal regulations are expected, Powerspan Corp. is preparing to begin the first demonstrations of its ECO2 technology, a system that attaches to coal-fired power plant stacks and traps CO2.
A one megawatt pilot-scale unit installed at the R.E. Burger Plant in Ohio under operation of FirstEnergy Corp. will go online next month and trap 20 tons of CO2 a day.
Powerspan, a Portsmouth company started in 2004, added 30 jobs this year to grow to 85 employees and has more projects on the table.
