Belledune Thermal Generating Station is a power plant that generates up to 490 megawatts of electricity from the combustion of pulverized coal as the primary fuel and petroleum coke as a blended supplemental fuel, in one large boiler.
Belledune has one separator from Separation Technologies Canada, and 60,000 metric tonnes of ProAsh are processed per year! The facility opened in March 2005 with 5 employees and a plant manager.
Belledune utilizes a Carbon Return System, which allows the re-use of flyash from the power plant.
The Belledune Generation Station grounds are home to foxes and black bears on site, but they are avoided for the protection of both people and animals.
