This trend likely will continue into 2010. Wind power projects are scheduled to account for 31% of all power generation construction starts in 2010. These projects have a total investment value of $53.1 billion, according to Industrial Info.]]> Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:35:27 -0600 http://www.industrialinfo.com/showNews.jsp?newsitemID=151996 Holly Corporation (NYSE:HOC) (Dallas, Texas) has selected The Benham Companies LLC (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) to perform preliminary design for an ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) project at a newly acquired refinery in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

But Miller doesn't hate coal. In fact, after leaving office she joined Summit Power (Bainbridge Island, Washington), a power plant developer that plans to build a 400-megawatt (MW) integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plant in West Texas. The plant will capture and sequester up to 3 million tons of carbon dioxide annually in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects in the Permian Basin. About 90% of the generator's carbon dioxide emissions will be captured.

That's when officials from American Electric Power (NYSE:AEP) (Columbus, Ohio) and Alstom Power, a unit of Alstom SA (EPA:ALO) (Levallois-Perret, France), pushed a button to begin sequestering carbon-dioxide emissions from AEP's Mountaineer Power Station in New Haven, West Virginia. As evidence has mounted that burning fossil fuels is connected to an increase in atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, utilities and coal companies have stepped up their search for cost-effective ways to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion. It may not be too much to suggest that the future of coal is riding on the results of the Mountaineer CCS validation project.]]> Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:35:27 -0600
