Biofuels make EPA compliance a plus for coal utilitiesDothan AL (SPX) Jan 04, 2012 Btu-substitution with liquid biofuels can make EPA compliance a net plus for coal-burning utilities, according to Clean Energy Pathways. The company backs that assertion with a free one-day workshop for coal-burning utilities entitled, "The Care and Feeding of Boiler Tubes." The workshop explains how Btu-substitution with liquid biofuels can be coupled with infrared thermal monitoring to optimize boiler efficiency, while aiding compliance with the Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), Renewable Fue ... read more |
