“…A study showed that by co-firing biomass with coal, sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions were significantly reduced, demonstrating not only a dilution effect due to the lower sulfur content in biomass but also a synergistic effect where elements like calcium in biomass interact with sulfur. In detailed pilot and utility boiler studies, it was found that co-firing can lead to substantial reductions in SO2 emissions and desulfurization costs, suggesting a viable route for coal-fired utility boilers to meet stringent environmental standards [140].…”
