Project Components
Natural gas-fueled power generation facility, which includes:
Combined-cycle gas turbine facility (CCGT)
1) Gas turbine burns fuel:
The gas turbine compresses air and mixes it with fuel that is heated to a very high temperature. The hot air-fuel mixture moves through the gas turbine blades, making them spin. The fast-spinning turbine drives a generator that converts a
portion of the spinning energy into electricity.
2) Heat recovery system captures exhaust:
A heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) captures exhaust heat from the gas turbine that would otherwise escape through the exhaust stack.
The HRSG creates steam from the gas turbine exhaust heat and delivers it to the steam turbine.
3) Steam turbine delivers additional electricity:
The steam turbine sends its energy to the generator drive shaft, where it is converted into additional electricity.
Electricity generated is transmitted to the Alberta electrical grid along a transmission line.

Integrated post-combustion CO2 capture facility (ICCF)
The integrated post-combustion CO2 capture facility will remove up to 95% of the CO2
contained in the exhaust gas using an amine CO2 absorber.
This amine-based procedure has been widely used in Western Canada since the mid-20th century to process natural gas.
The captured CO2 is transported by a pipeline to a sequestration hub.
