Dive Summary:
- Duke Energy has started construction on two catalytic reduction system structures that will cut pollution at the company’s coal-fired Cayuga power plant in Indiana.
- A $400 million project, the structures transform mercury into a different substance that the plant’s current pollution control equipment is able to capture.
- Combined with additional dry sorbent injection systems, the new equipment will annually cut 6,000 tons of nitrogen oxide emissions -- equivalent to emissions from 316,000 cars, the Charlotte, North Carolina-based Duke says.
From the article:
"The plant, located north of Terre Haute, will be fitted with two catalytic reduction system structures by the end of 2015."
