The government hopes a new type of power station will help it meet is climate change targets.
There are three proposals under consideration: one at Keadby in north Lincolnshire and two near Redcar on Teesside.
The government has set a target to capture 10 million tonnes of CO2 a year by 2030. That could involve other industrial processes as well as power generation.The technology has been around for decades. It's mainly been used in industries where captured CO2 can be reused, for example to force out oil and gas from underground reserves.The cost of a new gas power station at Keadby, providing electricity for nearly a million homes, is £350m.
The hope is that the price might fall over time. The cost of renewable energy for example has plummeted in the last decade.
