2. Further Information
| Field | Information |

| Project Description | Pilot 30MW oxyfuel plant commissioned in 2008 with intention to operate it for 5-10 years. The pilot was intended to provide experience for the Janschwalde demonstration project, since cancelled. Some 1500 tonnes of captured CO2 was injected at Ketzin storage research facility as a trial in 2011. During 2012 most CO2 was being vented with some used for industrial purposes. Vattenfall withdrew from CCS research early in 2014, pilot plant activity assumed to have ceased. (Updated 18/12/14) |
