Project Pioneer will provide a near-commercial scale demonstration of all elements within the carbon capture and storage (CCS) cycle. The project will use post-combustion retrofit technology that we believe will be cost-effective and have the broadest application and ability to affect global greenhouse gas emissions in the next 20 years.
Project Pioneer will be financed, designed, built and operated by a consortium of industry partners and government. By bringing together the best in their respective fields, Project Pioneer will demonstrate the full potential CCS has to offer and allow for a fair sharing of both costs and risks.
Every Project Pioneer partner is committed to sharing what it learns with other practitioners, institutions and academia. We believe that fossil fuel-fired power generation is a global necessity. By sharing our experience and insight, we hope to preserve the long-term viability of coal and gas as fuel sources while addressing climate change concerns.
