Carbon Capture Coalition Welcomes Capital Power as Participant

Washington, DC – The Carbon Capture Coalition today welcomed Capital Power as a Coalition Participant. Based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada with significant operations throughout the United States, Capital Power is a wholesale power generator that owns nearly 6,000 megawatts of power generation at 25 facilities in Canada and the U.S.

The Carbon Capture Coalition now includes more than 70 participants and observers representing energy, industrial and technology companies, labor unions and environmental, clean energy and agricultural organizations dedicated to fostering the economywide deployment of carbon capture.

Coalition Director Brad Crabtree issued the following welcome statement:

“The U.S. must dramatically increase the use of carbon capture technologies in power generation in order to meet midcentury emissions reductions targets. It’s critical that major power generators are part of the conversation about economywide deployment of these technologies. We’re pleased to welcome Capital Power to the Carbon Capture Coalition and look forward to working with them to advance the conversation about the importance of increasing the use of carbon capture in power generation nationwide.”
