The carbon capture and storage (CCS) facility at SaskPower’s Boundary Dam Power Station captured 48,242 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) in January.
According to information released by the Crown corporation on Friday, the CCS facility was online 60 per cent of the month, coming offline for 243 hours to accommodate multiple outages at Unit 3 at Boundary Dam. It was also offline for 57 hours to do maintenance on the CCS facility.
The average daily capture rate was 2,193 tonnes per day, with a peak one-day capture rate of 2,846 tonnes.
A total of 3,129,694 tonnes of CO2 have been captured since the CCS facility went online in October 2014.
