Carbon Capture on large scale power plants

[Benjamin Görge]

Im searching for people to share information about large scale and commercial carbon capture projects in Germany, Europe or world wide. I have just worked on a market studie about the state-of-the-art on commercial carbon capture projects in germany. It is really hard to get new and reliable information. Of course all companys say that they care about our environment and plan pilot and test plants. But what are they really doing? And are they able to scale these plants up?
Looking foreward to meeting some nice people.

Well Benjamin,
It appears that the concrete deal in Spain is available now that GreenFuel is bowing out. Doesn't make sense to me that with 92 million on the table you should be able to set up a plant. Our specs figure about 2 mil USD for capture of 100 tons per year using Algae PBR carbon capture techniques. This would provide a profit center from the biomass being produced to assist the build out. What do I not see here?
