The 1st power plant in da world dat will take da toxic emmissions from coal and bury them deep in da ground opened on Tue．in Spremberg，eastern Germany．
This technology is expected to cut CO2 emmissions by up to 90 per cent．The Times Sun Sept 14 2008
How da power station works and how da CO2 is stored．
1 Fuel is combusted in almost pure oxygen，concentrating carbon dioxide in flue gas
2 Resulting flue gas is cleaned of reduals such as ash particles and sulphur
3 Flue gas is then cooled to condense and remove water,leaving almost pure carbon dioxid,which is then compressed
4 Carbon dioxide is pumpted into underground reservoir beneath impermeable rock layer,1km depth.
5 Carbon dioxide dissolves into saline water.It may eventually become solid mineral carbonates
