Why does RWE want to build a CO2-free power plant?
Coal is indispensable to today’s power generation industry. This is a fact that will hold true over the long term—both in Germany and worldwide. This is why carbon capture and storage play a key role when it comes to tapping the huge potential for reducing CO2 emissions. Turning a vision into a reality requires strong companies providing the expertise, experience and capital needed to enable such technological quantum leaps. RWE is at the forefront of this movement. CO2-free power plant technology made in Germany will give our country technological leadership, unleash major export potential for our manufacturing industry, and secure jobs in our domestic economy.
