While much of the
world has been focused on oil and natural gas issues, including concerns
regarding associated pollution, much of the public has been unaware of one of
the most significant environmental related changes that has been occurring
around the world. The change is with the use of coal, arguably the single worst
environmental polluter of all.
The change in coal
use that is especially concerning is the rate at which it is growing. Although
the U.S. has been slowly weaning itself off its coal addiction, in favor of
less polluting, but still concerning, natural gas and oil, those parts of the
world that are most rapidly developing, China and India, are wildly ramping up
coal use, a cheap energy source. Thanks to this growing demand, coal could soon
actually exceed oil as the world’s major fuel of choice, exacerbating global
pollution problems.
Coal is a well-known
producer of carbon emissions, but it is also a major producer of mercury, which
ultimately enters the food chain and becomes methylmercury, toxic to animals
and people. In the U.S. alone, roughly half of mercury emissions come from
power plants, a primary user of coal. And standard coal pollution technologies
simply do not address the serious problem of mercury pollution.
For U.S.-based Midwest
Energy Emissions Corp., an environmental services company, it represents a
major opportunity for explosive growth. The company develops and delivers
patented, cost-effective mercury capture systems and technologies to power
plants and other coal-burning units in the U.S. and Canada. New U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency restrictions for the emission of mercury will
soon take effect, impacting over a thousand coal fired power plants around the
country, and Midwest Energy Emissions has the single most effective
technological solution. The company is already signing major contracts as
utilities rush to be in compliance. Rarely is a company in such a perfect
position for rapid growth.
