EU green light for UK carbon capture and storage project
The European Commission has confirmed that the White Rose carbon capture and storage (CCS) project is in line to win the cash (equivalent to about £250m).
The gas will be siphoned off from a new coal-fired power station and stored in undersea rock formations.
...
The White Rose CCS project will involve the construction of a new, coal-powered plant next to the existing Drax facility near Selby, in Yorkshire.
...
White Rose will provide electricity to over 630,000 homes but 90% of the CO2 emissions from the plant will be captured, amounting to two million tonnes per year.

I'll believe the usefulness only when I see some decent results. A nice subsidy that the EU seemed desperate to give to someone, though.
