WHAT:         The announcement of a pilot project that uses chilled
               ammonia to capture carbon dioxide (CO2). The project
               will capture CO2 from a portion of coal-fueled boiler
               flue gas at a We Energies 1,210-megawatt power plant in
               Wisconsin.

WHY:          As the country and electric utility sector look to
               reduce carbon emissions, research and development of
               new technologies are critical steps in meeting the twin
               challenges of increasing demand and reducing emissions.
               This project is an essential step in the R&D process
               that may lead to commercialization.
