Coal Is No Sooty Remnant Of The Industrial Revolution
Today, coal generates up to half of the electricity in the United States and will continue to do so as long as it's cheap and plentiful [Source: Energy Information Administration].Clean coal technology seeks to reduce harsh environmental effects by using multiple technologies to clean coal and contain its emissions.
92% of Coal Generates Our Electricity
When coal burns, it releases carbon dioxide and other emissions in flue gas, the billowing clouds you see pouring out of smoke stacks.Most coal -- 92 percent of the U.S. supply -- goes into power production [Source: Energy Information Administration]. Electric companies and businesses with power plants burn coal to make the steam that turns turbines and generates electricity.
Cool Washing Clean Coal
Wet Scrubbers Clean Coal
Other systems control the coal burn to minimize emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulates. Wet scrubbers, or flue gas desulphurization systems, remove sulfur dioxide, a major cause of acid rain, by spraying flue gas with limestone and water. Clean Coal To Reduce Asthma
Low-NOx (nitrogen oxide) burners reduce the creation of nitrogen oxides, a cause of ground-level ozone, by restricting oxygen and manipulating the combustion process. Electrostatic precipitators remove particulates that aggravate asthma and cause respiratory ailments by charging particles with an electrical field and then capturing them on collection plates.
