“…Furthermore, additional removal in the postcombustion capture process is expected. Koornneef et al (2010) summarized reported values in literature and show that the minimum expected additional reduction per MJ primary compared to a power plant without CO 2 capture is approximately 40%; on average it is 85%. For the amine based concept it is required to reduce the concentration of SO x in the inlet gas of the CO 2 capture facility as these compounds may react with the solvent, which leads to the formation of salts and solvent loss.…”

“…2(b) and 2(c)). Previous studies (Koornneef et al, 2010;Nazari et al., 2010) also reported that fossil-fuel combustion in power plants is a major cause of these pollutants. PMM was revealed as the second highest source of both SO 2 and NO x emissions.…”

“…Machado et al (2006) also reported that the electric arc furnace for PMM processes is a major source of particulate emissions. In addition, fossil-fuel combustion in fired power could emit significant amounts of airborne particulate matters (Zhang et al, 2005;Koornneef et al, 2010). PEGSC was a major emission source of both SO 2 and NO x emissions, with proportions of 69.4 and 60.4%, respectively (Figs.…”

Real monitoring data are required for the validation of models or methods used to estimate industrial emission inventories of air pollutants. As such, the current study investigated the industrial emissions of four major and three other hazardous air pollutants in four subareas of the Yeongnam area in Korea over five years (2005 through 2009), using direct stack monitoring concentrations, which were obtained from tel-monitoring systems. Yearly variations in the industrial emissions of the target pollutants depended upon the subareas and chemical types. For example, the total suspended particulate (TSP) emissions in Geongnam increased for two consecutive years (2007 and 2008) and then, decreased in 2009, whereas the industrial CO emissions in Ulsan sharply increased since 2007. For TSP, primary metal manufacturing (PMM) and Power, electricity and gas supplying companies (PEGSC) were two major industrial emission sources. PEGSC exhibited the highest source for both SO 2 and NO x emissions, followed by PMM and petroleum and petrochemical companies in descending order. For CO emissions, PPM exhibited the highest source, followed by municipal waste treatment and intermediate waste treatment facilities in descending order. Both NH 3 and HF were emitted primarily from two subareas (Ulsan and Geongbuk), which have fertilizer production companies. Both Geongnam and Geongbuk exhibited the highest and the second highest HCl emissions, presumably due to emissions during the acid treatment processes of various metals. Most of the industry categories, which are associated with fuel combustions or waste incineration, exhibited the highest and the second highest emission proportions for NO x and SO 2 , respectively. Maximum emissions were observed in the winter or summer season, while minimum emissions were observed in the spring or fall season, presumably due to increased energy utilizations for residential as well as industrial heating and cooling.

“…In the case of waste incineration in France, it has been shown that 25% of present plants contribute to reducing air pollution and less than 2% to reducing climate-change-related emissions [5]. In the carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, if the technology was added to an existing production system a small impact on air pollution were found, but a greater reduction would be obtained if CCS were combined with the integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) technology [6]. According to this study, the importance is which type of production is replaced and that climate change abatement and reduction of air pollution most often go hand in hand for the CCS related technologies.…”

Energy utility companies face trade-offs in navigating through today's environmental challenges. On the one hand they face intense political, social and environmental pressures to move towards adopting energy systems that incorporate the use of renewable energy resources. By making this transition they would contribute to carbon reduction and mitigate climate change. On the other hand, they need to coordinate their resources and become efficient when investing in new plants or upgrading existing production systems. This paper seeks to address the gains that utility companies can make when replacing older fossil fuel base-plants with efficient combined heat and power (CHP) plants. We discuss the system effects from the changes in production of other units when new plants are constructed. Using one of the largest energy utility companies in Sweden, Fortum, as an empirical point of departure, we analyzed the company's transition from using coal and hydrocarbons to an increased use of renewables and waste incineration CHP. Our analysis was based on comprehensive production data on CO 2 , SO x and NO x emissions. Our findings suggest that primary energy consumption drops when older and less efficient fossil plants are substituted for new efficient CHP plants; this drop includes the effect on the remaining production. The benefits in terms of primary energy savings might be even greater than what are achieved in meeting the goal of climate change abatement through reduced CO 2 emissions; NO x and SO x emissions are decreased with new biomass CHPs. Waste incineration CHP increase NO x and SO x emissions, when there is less fossil fuel to replace after the use of biomass is extended. In both cases, economic efficiency increases as costs are reduced.
