Carbon capture project

Our Pleasant Prairie Power Plant, located in the village of Pleasant Prairie in southeast Wisconsin, successfully hosted a demonstration project of new chilled ammonia technology that aims to achieve a highly efficient carbon capture rate of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from a coal-fueled generating facility. Although CO₂ emissions currently aren't regulated, we are committed to reducing emissions and investing in environmentally responsible technology. This technology has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of removing CO₂ from pulverized coal power plants and is targeted for commercial operation by 2015.
