Future Power PA Inc. Achieves Milestone
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Protection Approves Plan
CALGARY, April 2 /CNW/ - Immersive Media Corp. (TSXV: IMC) ("Immersive Media" or "IMC") announced that Future Power PA Inc. ("FPPI") received approval of plans submitted in accordance with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's provisions of the Air Pollution Control Act, the Act of January 8, 1960, P.L. 2119, as amended, and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127. Detailed engineering work specific to the site is expected to commence shortly.
Throughout 2009 FPPI's Good Spring IGCC plant applied for all requisite approvals for this power project. The approvals allow the next phase of engineering to begin. More importantly, this final decision is seen as a milestone towards energy independence, job creation, and climate improvement.
FPPI's President James Palumbo commented, "Global use of coal as an energy source continues to rise and the opportunity before us is to drastically improve how clean it can be. Seeing a large and lengthy process like this conclude as a win for all the stakeholders is very satisfying. We thank the local community, engineers, regulators, elected representatives, elected senators, and investors who spent considerable time and resources to make this day happen."
"The Good Spring IGCC facility will be one of the most environmentally clean IGCC plants in the world," said Raj Suri, CEO of Future Fuels. "It is very exciting to extend the boundaries of what one may think of in terms of the best available control technology."
Good Spring IGCC strives to become an industry-leading electricity generation plant using anthracite or similar feedstock and having carbon capture capabilities along with record setting lows in emissions of particulates and climate impacting gasses per megawatt of power created. With its own 55 million tons of feedstock on site, Good Spring IGCC is capable of lower cost operations and avoiding sourcing of fuel from distant or mountaintop removal locations.
