Neil Scott, The Leader-PostPublished: Friday, April 25, 2008Belle Plaine would be the right location for a $4-billion polygeneration plant, according to a report submitted to the province by TransCanada Energy Ltd.
The "project description'' report was submitted by TransCanada Energy this week as part of an environmental assessment analysis of the project.
"The proposed site offers the right location, infrastructure and customer characteristics to make development like this possible,'' the report said.
The site "is one of the few sites in North America that could support the development and operation of a world class polygeneration plant,'' said the report, which was submitted to the Environmental Assessment Branch of Saskatchewan Environment.
The project would convert petroleum coke, likely obtained from northern Alberta, into 300 megawatts of electricity as well as into hydrogen, nitrogen, steam and carbon dioxide for industrial use.
"It is a great environmental story,'' said John Jenkins, the commercial manager for the Belle Plaine project.
The $4-billion project would also be the largest in the province's history in terms of capital investment, Jenkins said.
