The requirements placed on belt conveyors have become increasingly complicated with respect to predictable and reliable operation and the reduction of fugitive, especially dust, emissions. The proven techniques of using engineered-flow chutes and air-supported belt conveyors can be found at many coal-fired power plants and this equipment [...]

Alstom and TransAlta Launch Project Pioneer
Alstom and Canadian power company TransAlta —along with their partners in the governments of Canada and Alberta, and Capital Power, an independent power producer— have announced the creation of a partnership to construct a large-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage (CCS) demonstration facility at one of TransAlta’s coal-fired generating stations [...]

Tier 2 to Tier 4 — In One Step (Source: WWW.DIESELGASTURBINE.COM)
Anyone building a ferryboat to operate in the state of California, U.S.A., had better be prepared to make low emissions the leading design criteria. And for a series of ferryboats for the San Francisco, California bay area Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA), add low draft, [...]

More Power Without Additional Emissions
Many pipeline booster compressors are driven by gas turbines operated in the simple-cycle mode, which is a classicsolution to limit plant costs, simplify operation, reduce maintenance requirements, etc. But this also means operating the system with a lower efficiency.
With the increase in fuel costs and concerns about greenhouse emissions, specifically CO2 production, a [...]

Bottling up Emissions
In line with a major initiative by the European Union (EU) to reduce emissions, GE Energy, the Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company S.A. and the energy development company ContourGlobal celebrated the opening of a new cogeneration plant at Coca-Cola Hellenic’s Ploiesti bottling facility near Bucharest. The Romanian natural gas-fueled cogeneration plant represents the first of [...]

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has of late gained steam as the best way to mitigate emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil fuel power plants, despite evidence that the approach would require much energy and increase the fuel needs of a coal-fired plant by more than 25%. A new study from [...]

On Jan. 1, 2009, the region of Lombardy in Italy will enact Europe’s strictest emissions standards for combined-cycle power plants. The new requirements will limit nitrogen oxide (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions to 30 milligrams (mg) compared to present levels of 50 mg, for a reduction of 40%.
To comply with the new restrictions, Endesa Italia, [...]

Officials at Masonic Village at Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., weary of the campus’ 90-year-old, inefficient coal-fired steam system, and the high emissions associated with burning coal, knew it was time to move to a next-generation technology for their heating and electric needs — combined heat and power (CHP).
In 2002, eager for a change and after conducting deep [...]
