| Emission reduction and environmental remediation strategies at fossil-fired plants are critical for viability and to meet decarbonization goals. EPA has finalized a suite of measures aimed at addressing air, water and land pollution from plants. The agency’s emissions rule for many coal and gas-fired plants leans on technologies like carbon capture. POWERGEN International highlights state and federal regulations impacting plant operations, as well as operational strategies and control technologies to remain in compliance. |
