One way to reduce emissions from a power plant is to switch to renewable sources of energy, such as solar or wind power. Additionally, you can use pollution control technologies like flue gas desulfurization and particulate matter traps that are designed to capture and filter particles from the flue gas before they enter the atmosphere. Lastly, some plants can reduce emissions by switching fuels or re-designing their boilers in order to increase efficiency and decrease excess air which are key precursors for NOx formation. It would be beneficial to research the various options available in order select a technology or combination of technologies that best fits the individual needs of your power plant.

Yes. Low-emission combustion technologies, like gasification and pyrolysis, can reduce nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide emissions. Advanced particulate traps and flue gas scrubbing systems can reduce other pollutants like mercury, lead, dioxins and furans as well as acid gases such as sulfur trioxide and chlorine.
