Controlling emissions from coal-fired power plants

Controlling emissions from coal-fired power plants

Controlling emissions from coal-fired power plants

(OP)
I'm scouting for technologies that treat flue gases from coal-fired power plants that claim to reduce emissions (NOx, SOx, Hg, particulate matter) to near zero percent.

I would like for these technologies to out of the box innovation that's being conducted either in a lab bench scale or pilot scale. If anyone heard of such a technology or can direct me to a link where I can do my scouting, it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply,

These technologies are pretty well known in the industry; however, I would like "out of the box" innovation or research. I ran article searches in well known scientific databases in near zero emissions for coal combustion flue gases, but I keep stumbling into improvements on current technologies.

RE: Controlling emissions from coal-fired power plants

Probably the most out of the box innovation is coal gasification. However, gasification has also been around for some time.

These are huge costly projects and for that reason, it is difficult to attract funding sources for new ideas.

Me too.....

CO2 sequestration?
Otherwise, I subscribe to 'me too'.
