The BBC says:
Beneath the gargantuan grey boiler towers of Schwarze Pumpe power station which pierce the skies of northern Germany, a Lilliputian puzzle of metal boxes and shining canisters is about to mark a moment of industrial history.
This mini power plant is a pilot project for carbon capture and storage (CCS) - the first coal-fired plant in the world ready to capture and store its own CO2 emissions.
It's good to see someone trying this technology out. Although CCS is of course not going to solve carbon emissions by itself, it's one technology that might turn out to be a crucial part of the entire package.
