Examples
-
Global emissions of SO2 were reduced by about 2.5 per cent between 1990 and 2000 [85], as a result of clean air acts promoting a switch to cleaner fuels and flue gas desulphurization, and the demise of heavy industries, particularly in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
-
As of 2005, only 14 percent of the thermal generating facilities in the country had installed desulphurization equipment, and 40% of the completed desulphurization projects are idle because of technical problems and lack of oversight.
-
It is also the result of policies calling for cleaner fuels, flue gas desulphurization and new industrial processes.
-
It was achieved through a range of different pollution prevention and control strategies, including changes in fuel type (from coal to natural gas), desulphurization of emissions, coal washing, use of fuels with a lower sulphur content and improved energy efficiency [152].
-
BIG/GT technologies for cogeneration or stand-alone power applications have the promise of being able to produce electricity at a lower cost in many instances than most alternatives, including large centralized, coal-fired, steam-electric power plants with flue gas desulphurization, nuclear power plants, and hydroelectric power plants.

For this reason a close control of the desulphurization plant is strongly recommended.
