After years of
scientific study and research, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
determined that it was “appropriate and necessary” to control mercury emissions
from power plants. In 2011, the EPA issued its Mercury and Air Toxics Standards
(MATS) as a measure to reduce air emissions of heavy metals, including mercury
(Hg), from all major U.S. power plants.
More than a dozen
states took the measure even further, establishing even more stringent emission
limits and increasing demand for energy emission control technology.
Power plants were
given up to four years (by early 2015) to comply with MATS, and small-cap
innovator Midwest Energy Emissions quickly demonstrated the ability of its
mercury emissions technology to offer capture rates of more than 90 percent in
coal-fired power plants.
Through years of
collaborative testing and research, Midwest Energy Emissions has emerged as a
leading provider of effective, low-cost and high-capture solutions to enable
power plants to meet and exceed new government regulations. Through its
partnership with the University of North Dakota’s Energy & Environment
Research Center (EERC), Midwest Energy Emissions has exclusive patent rights to
EERC’s mercury control technology, Sorbent Enhancement Additive (SEA™).
The full line of
Mercury Energy Emissions products covers the SEA™ system products as well as a
complete line of sorbents for backend system applications across all boiler
types. The company currently has 23 patents in these three markets, developed
from approximately $60 million in government and private funding.
Midwest Energy
Emissions currently offers its proprietary technology to power plants in the
United States and Canada, and has plans for future expansion into Europe and
China.
