The work by Babcock & Wilcox for NorthStar Clean Energy comes amid a push from the Biden administration for carbon capture on power generators.

A technology company plans to help switch a coal-fueled power plant in Michigan to biomass and add carbon capture, a departure from most U.S. utilities that have hesitated so far on the


emissions-cutting gambit.


Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises said it has signed an agreement with NorthStar Clean Energy, co-owner of the TES Filer City Station, to start initial work on the project.


The facility would be “one of the nation’s first large-scale biomass with carbon capture and sequestration projects,” said Brian Hartmann, the president of NorthStar, in a statement last


week.


In late April, EPA released a final rule that aims to curb emissions from existing coal-fired power plants and new natural gas plants, standards that have renewed a debate over whether CCS


technology has been adequately demonstrated. The Biden administration has said the technology — which is designed to trap CO2 from point sources like power plants — is proven, calling it


“available and cost-effective.”
