For decades, the U.S. has relied on coal-fired electric generating plants as the foundation of its central power system. However, coal has received much criticism as a power generation fuel source because of its contribution to air pollution. New air emissions standards over the past decade have resulted in a re-evaluation of coal as a fuel source and the development of new technologies for reducing plant emissions. As deregulation, re-structuring, and privatization of the utility market proceed and the nation's energy requirements increase, the need for cost-effective and environmentally compliant technologies will also increase.
This Business Communications Co., Inc (BCC) report analyzes the trends and developments of the rapidly changing U.S. market for air pollution control technologies for coal-fired power plants. The report provides an overview of the coal-based power industry, including history, key regulations, types and characteristics of plant emissions, types of emission control technologies, industry structure, and future trends. Market forecasts are included for each major technology type and for technology categories within the major technology type and will run through 2006
