Carseland Cogeneration Plant
Overview
Since 2001, Carseland has been providing Alberta with up to 95 megawatts of electricity from its industrial cogeneration plant located in Carseland, Alta., at Nutrien’s Carseland Nitrogen Operation. In addition to supplying Nutrien with a stable source of power and steam, the plant offers much needed support for the Southern Alberta electrical grid – contributing to a stable source of electricity for Alberta homes and businesses.
FAQs
What is a cogeneration plant?
Cogeneration is the simultaneous production of two forms of useful energy from a single fuel source, often electricity and steam from natural gas. Cogeneration plants minimize fuel consumption, save money and can greatly reduce emissions.
How much power does the Carseland Plant produce?
The Carseland facility has a capacity of 95 megawatts of electricity with 120 tonnes per hour of steam also produced, which is captured and delivered to Nutrien for its operations. The plant is designed to operate at full load, 24 hours per day, year-round (except during periods of routine maintenance).
What kind of fuel does the Carseland Plant use?
Carseland uses natural gas in combustion turbines to produce electricity.
Cogeneration plants minimize fuel consumption by utilizing a single process for two purposes, which reduces costs as well as emissions relative to a facility that procures/generates the electricity and steam separately.
The plant is highly fuel-efficient with Dry Low NOx combustion technology resulting in reduced NOx and GHG emissions.
