Natural gas use for pollution control

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6979371
Concern for acid rain prompted proposals to reduce harmful emissions from utility boilers fired with fossil fuels. Successful research in areas such as gas reburning, gas cofiring and the combination of gas reburning with sorbent injection can significantly reduce emissions of SO{sub 2} and NOx at a lower cost than alternative control technologies, and provide the utility the option to rely on the existing fuel of choice, locally available coal. Emissions data are provided in tables.
