The Energy Technologies Institute, backed by Royal Dutch Shell Plc, BP Plc and the U.K. government, agreed to invest 23.5 million pounds ($38 million) in a carbon-capture trial project as Britain studies ways to curb emissions.
The ETI will work with U.K. engineering company Costain Group Plc to construct a pilot plant at a coal-fired power station to capture as much as 95 percent of its carbon dioxide output, the institute said today in a website statement. It aims to have the facility built, operated and tested by mid-2015.
