Learnings from a decade of carbon capture at Boundary Dam

In 2014, SaskPower’s Boundary Dam 3 (BD3) project made history as the world’s first post-combustion carbon capture deployment at commercial scale on a power plant. 

BD3 pioneered post-combustion carbon capture and storage and overcame early first-of-a-kind challenges, reshaping global understanding of CCS.  Over a decade later, the carbon capture facility at BD3 has captured more than 6.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) and achieves high reliability.

Together, SaskPower and Shell Catalysts & Technologies describe key operational insights and learnings that enabled them to deliver the BD3 CCS project and prove that carbon capture can be deployed at scale, even in the most demanding conditions.

Fundamentally, the challenges the project addressed – integrating capture technology into an existing plant, managing flue gas contaminants and optimising performance while meeting business targets – are relevant across multiple sectors, such as cement, energy from waste and natural gas power plants. 

In this webinar, we will:

• Introduce SaskPower and technology licensor Shell Catalysts & Technologies;
• summarise the business case for CCS at BD3;
• reveal operational insights; and 
• discuss key learnings and implications for CCS deployment.
