U.S. MARKET FOR AIR POLLUTION CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES FOR COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS WORTH $2.7 BILLION IN 2013

Wellesley, Mass—According to a new technical market research report, POLLUTION CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES FOR COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS (EGY030B) from BCC Research (www.bccresearch.com), the U.S. market for air pollution control technologies for coal-fired power plants was worth $2.5 billion in 2008. This will increase to $2.7 billion in 2013, for a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.5%.

The market is broken down into segments of scrubbers and flue gas desulfurization (FGD), nitrogen oxides controls, and particulate matter and mercury controls. Of these, scrubbers and FGD currently have the largest market share, worth $1.3 billion in 2008. This segment should reach almost $1.4 billion in 2013, for a CAGR of 1.5%.

The nitrogen oxides controls segment has the second largest share of the market, worth $925.0 million in 2008. This segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.5% to reach $997.0 million in 2013.

The third largest market segment is particulate matter and mercury controls, which generated $360.0 million in 2008. This should increase to $388.0 million in 2013, for a CAGR of 1.5%.

For decades, the U.S. has relied on coal-fired electric-generating plants as the foundation of its central power system. Indeed, today more than half the electricity generated in the U.S. comes from burning coal.

However, the social and political situation of the U.S. has been changing in ways that affect the pollution control for coal-fired power plants industry. Many different and interlaced factors including technological, economic and political ones are affecting and driving the discussions of present and future policies and plans.

The industry continues to grapple with how to ensure a steady energy supply and how to manage the environmental consequences of exploiting those supplies.
