Carbon Emissions Would Drop with New Technology

TONAWANDA, NY (2007-07-31) Carbon emissions at coal-fired power plants would be markedly reduced under new technology unveiled Tuesday at Praxair in Tonawanda. Praxair is working with three other companies and the University at Buffalo in developing technology that will capture carbon dioxide during the power-generating process and permanently store it underground. The new technology will be tested at a new power generating plant the Jamestown Board of Public Utilities is building.
