Capital Power (CPX), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and Kiewit Energy have partnered on a front-end engineering and design (FEED) study.

This study for the Genesee CCS Project in Alberta will advance the commercial application of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology. MHI Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, logistics & infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense.

Steve Owens, SVP, Construction and Engineering of Capital Power commented on the news.

“We’re excited to collaborate with MHI Group and Kiewit to advance our Genesee CCS Project. This FEED study is a significant step forward in decarbonizing our Genesee Generating Station as we work to power a sustainable future for people and planet.”

Capital Power has selected MHI Group as the technology licensor for the FEED study to deploy their proven Advanced KM CDR Process as the basis for the carbon capture technology. Building on Capital Power’s pre-FEED work to develop the project, MHI Group has partnered with Kiewit to develop the next stage of engineering and design for the Project.

Kiewit is one of North America’s largest and most respected construction and engineering organizations.

The FEED study establishes overall performance expectations for the project and creates fundamental engineering deliverables. It also determines the preliminary design for integrating the project with the repowered units and produce a class 2 capital cost estimate. The company expects work to be completed by June 2023.

Black and Veatch will provide owner’s engineering oversight on behalf of Capital Power for the FEED study. The company expects the project to start capturing carbon as early as 2027.

Capital Power is a growth-oriented North American wholesale power producer with a strategic focus on sustainable energy.
