Air Pollution Control (Volume XXI, Number 5, 2008)

EBJ's Annual Environmental Industry Overview Issue, 2007 Published April 2008

When it comes to the $4 billion air pollution control equipment market, for the past several years, the bull’s-eye has been drawn on the electric utility industry and its fleet of fossil fuel-fired power plants, with a special emphasis on the coal-fired facilities. Regulatory initiatives aimed at reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX), sulfur dioxide (SO2), fine particulate matter (PM 2.5), and mercury have applied to multiple sources of these pollutants across several industry sectors, but electric utilities have been identified as leading sources and have been the first targets for control, at the state and federal levels.

That’s not likely to change any time soon. Relatively new regulations like the federal Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) affect electric power plants directly and significantly, and provide a series of compliance deadlines going out to 2015. Meanwhile, the legal troubles afflicting regulations like the federal Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR)— vacated by a federal court in February 2008— simply delay the day of reckoning. As they so often do, many states have stepped into the mercury control arena, establishing emissions standards that are more stringent than those in CAMR, and perhaps more stringent than any standards that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will ever promulgate (although who knows what a new administration in the White House will do).
