18 April 2007 - Powerfuel, a UK coal mine owner controlled by Russia's Kuzbassrazrezugol, plans to build a 900 MW, coal-fired power plant in Hatfield, in northern England, that will use Shell gasification technology and carbon capture.

Construction will take three to four years and may involve building a pipeline to transport carbon dioxide to storage sites in the North Sea, Powerfuel said in a statement.

Kuzbassrazrezugol, Russia's largest coal miner, bought a 51 per cent stake in Powerfuel in 2006, providing the cash to start mining at the Hatfield Colliery coal mine, which was shut in 2004.

Recent price increases and political support for coal-fired power plants are encouraging mining companies to consider reopening UK coal mines that had been shut down.
