Mercury Emission Reductions Sample Clauses

Mercury Emission Reductions. NSPW's solid fuel fired generating plants rely primarily on the use of alternate fuels, principally biomass (e.g. wood waste and shredded railroad ties), as their dominant fuel source. Wood waste and shredded railroad ties contain very low amounts of mercury. Though coal is used only at NSPW's Bay Front plant, the amounts consumed are small in comparison to alternate fuels and the coal that is burned (low sulfur coal from Wyoming) has relatively low concentrations of mercury. Use of alternate fuels at French Island and Bay Front has resulted in a sustained 30% reduction in mercury emissions. The recent conversion of Bay Front boilers 1 and 2 to supplemental natural gas firing will further reduce mercury emissions further.
