* [[Maasvlakte Power Station (E.ON)]] in Rotterdam is proposed by [[E.ON]] to have an installed capacity of 1100 megawatts with a njotional commissioning date of 2011/12. In April 2008 ''Power in Europe'' noted that "E.ON says all it needs to proceed is a natural habitat license and a construction licence, which it hopes to get in early 2008. Greenpeace asks Council of State to strike down environmental licenses granted to E.ON Benelux for this project."<ref name= "Power in Europe P32"/> E.ON started constructing the new coal-fired/biomass power station in April 2008, and it is scheduled to go on line in 2013. At the same time the the TNO-CATO test installation for trapping CO2 from flue gasses went on line at the site, with a goal to move on a commercial scale from 2020.<ref>[http://www.zero.no/ccs/projects/e.on-maasvlakte-nl-1 "E.ON Maasvlakte (NL),"] Zero, accessed September 2012.</ref>
