The world's largest pilot plant for the capture of carbon dioxide(CO2) from a conventional power station was opened in Denmark today. It is the first installation in the world to capture the CO2 in the flue gases of a coal fired power station.... The pilot CO2 capture unit, coordinated by the Institut Français du Pétrole(IFP), will be operated for two years to demonstrate a new technology on a scale large enough to ensure reliable industrial application. The pilot unit captures most of the CO2 in the flue gases emitted by the coal-fired power station. 2, record 1, English, - carbon%20dioxide%20capture%20unit

Pour la première fois en Europe, un «piège à CO2» a été inauguré hier sur une centrale électrique au charbon au Danemark, une nouvelle arme dans la lutte contre les émissions de gaz à effet de serre responsables du réchauffement de la planète. Ce dispositif [...] permet de capturer le dioxyde de carbone (CO2) émis par les fumées de ce site industriel pour éviter sa dispersion dans l'atmosphère. 3, record 1, French, - pi%C3%A8ge%20%C3%A0%20CO2
