China
Can Remove Mercury at Low Cost Thanks to U.S. Developments
In order
to meet tough regulations in the U.S. technology developers have made great
strides in creating low cost routes to achieve mercury removal from power plant
exhausts. The cost is especially low if the plant already has a scrubber. China
is installing scrubbers on nearly all its plants. As a result China can remove
mercury with just a tiny percent increase in its air pollution control
investment and operating cost.
There have
been some very significant recent breakthroughs which need to be communicated to
the Chinese policy makers. To this end, McIlvaine conducted a webinar last week
in Mandarin Chinese with two FGD experts. A presentation on removal technology
was made by Bobby Chen of CBI Shaw. Questions and discussion were provided by
Shiaw Tseng of Graymont. This presentation in Mandarin is available as a
recording in the McIlvaine Global Decisions Orchard and on YouTube.

U.S. power
plants emitted 100,000 lbs of mercury per year prior to the regulations. By 2016
emissions will have been reduced by more than 80,000 lbs per year. China
operates four times as many coal-fired boilers as the U.S., and five times as
many cement plants. The potential Chinese reductions are much more significant
than those in the U.S. Mercury is a world traveler. Gold mines in Brazil are
emitting mercury which has been tracked to the arctic, so this is a global
problem and needs a global solution. China has demonstrated a willingness to
spend a great deal to improve the environment, so it is likely that they will
take advantage of this opportunity when the low cost and ease of achieving the
reduction are made clear.
