MOBILE – Alabama Power Co.s Barry Electric Generating Plant north of Mobile will be the site of the nations first large-scale attempt to capture carbon dioxide emitted from a coal-fired power plant and to inject the gas deep underground.
The four-year, $175 million experiment begins in 2011 and will test the future viability of coal as a source of electrical power, Alabama Powers parent firm, Atlanta-based Southern Co., announced Wednesday.
Tens of thousands of tons of the potent greenhouse gas will be piped 9,000 feet underground around the Citronelle oil fields, about 10 miles from the Barry plant.
