of the electricity in the
Commercial
Applications and other Benefits as described by the awardee: The
technology should have extensive commercial applications in the electric
utility industry at both new and existing coal-fired power plants equipped with
wet FGD scrubbing systems. Manufacturers
that process FGD byproducts will avoid mercury exposure and environmental
releases. The public would benefit
through reduced exposure to mercury emitted from power plant stacks and from
reduced exposure to mercury-containing FGD byproducts.
