- Double-digit reductions in NOx and SOx
Completely compatible
- Can be co-fired at any blend rate with traditional coal
- Handles like coal – transported, stored & ground in existing equipment
- Demonstrated performance without fouling
Upends traditional cost model
- Parity with coal on a Total Cost of Ownership model • No CapEx costs for compliance
- Reduced need for offsets or penalty payments
The first premium pellet that can be blended with coal as a better biomass solution than white pellets with our increased carbon density
- AEG has established an active test program to co-fire coal and CoalSwitch®
- Proven – CoalSwitch® can be co-fired with immediate environmental and emissions benefits
- CoalSwitch® can be handled in power generation facilities with limited to zero CapEx required for reconfiguration
- CoalSwitch® provides opportunity to extend life of current coal plants and meet increasing and immediate environmental regulations.
