What type of air emission controls are planned in the designs for Keephills 3?
Keephills 3 is being designed to meet the 2006 new unit emission limits for sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx),mercury (Hg) and particulate matter under the 2006 Alberta Air Emissions Standards for Electricity Generation. Keephills 3 will emit approximately 60 to 80 per cent less SO2, NOx and Hg in comparison to the same amount of power produced by the four obsolete units at Wabamun.
