Midwest Energy Emissions is
a green tech company that provides patented mercury emissions reduction
technology for coal and oil-fired power plants in Canada and the United States.
Backed by a strong patent licensing portfolio of more than 23 patents and a growing
reputation for efficient and effective solutions, Midwest Energy has carved a
strong and leading position in the mercury emissions market.
There are more than 19,000
individual generators at nearly 7,000 operational power plants in the United
States, reports the U.S. Environmental Information Agency. And according to the
Environmental Protection Agency, there are about 1,400 coal and coal-fired
electric generating units (EGUs) that belch harmful air pollutants such as
mercury, acid gases, and toxic metals and chemicals. Coal and oil-fired EGUS
emit many of the 187 hazardous air pollutants listed in the 1990 Clean Air Act.
Thanks to the EPA’s Mercury
and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) mandate, by April 2015, EUGs that generate more
than 25MW comply with regulations to cut mercury emissions by 90 percent. And
here’s where Midwest Energy’s Sorbent Enhancing Additive (SEA) technology comes
into play.
Sorbents absorb liquids or
gases. Leveraging this absorption capability, Midwest Energy’s SEA technology has
demonstrated its ability to exceed MATS capture requirements at a lower cost
than other technology on the market.
Midwest Energy recently said
it received firm commitments for a fleet of nine generating units from a major
U.S. power producer for multi-year, mercury pollution control. The company said
it expects revenues from this single relationship to approximately $30 million
per year by 2016, with initial revenues beginning in 2014. The commitment
signifies Midwest Emission’s reputation as a reputable and capable provider of
mercury emission reduction technology.
With the deadline for MATS
compliance on the horizon, Midwest Energy is well-positioned in emerging
mercury pollution control market with its high-potential, proprietary
technology.
