pretty badass. too bad the rest of the world will not follow suit with projects like this.

When fully optimized, SaskPower’s new process will capture up to a million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually, the equivalent of taking 250,000 cars off the road. The power unit equipped with CCS technology will continue to use coal to power approximately 100,000 Saskatchewan homes and businesses. The captured carbon dioxide will be used for enhanced oil recovery, with the remainder stored safely and permanently deep underground and continuously monitored.

How are the plants supposed to breath if we keep taking away their carbon dioxide?

You may be on to something here.
What if we cleaned up pollution to much in the future and all the plants die?

many do.
The Co2 is used for fracking, this has been around for a while. Sask is doing what everybody else who is doing this should also do, which is, good PR.

I agree. but it won't make headline news. instead we get celebrity gossip

Not exactly...it's pumped down old wells (CO2 flooding) that are no longer producing as much due to natural pressure dissipating.

interesting. I don't know shite about fracking or any production. Im in drilling. Drill a hole where they want. Move to the next one. Make sure we don't have a collision.

Yea it's all new to me as well, I just moved to a business unit of a company that provides CO2 for production

This is what they're doing in the Permian Basin and in the Oman fields with very good results.

Not yet. Article says used for enhanced oil recovery (CO2 flooding). However I think GE and Statoil have big $$$ in trying to figure out an efficient way to use Co2 for dry fracking instead of propane or other combustible gases to appease environs and save money. Not sure if it would be totally dry or something like the nitrogen foams.
