PMFG Inc. has announced that it has been awarded a contract to provide two SCR systems for nitrogen oxide (NO_x) emissions control and oxidation catalysts for carbon monoxide/volatile organic compounds emissions control for a new, natural-gas-fired combined-cycle power plant in the northeastern U.S.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced that it will delay the requirement for capturing emissions from natural gas hydraulic fracturing processes until 2015.

EPA has issued a final Clean Air Act permit to the Pioneer Valley Energy Center for the construction and operation of a new 400 MW combined-cycle gas turbine in Westfield, Mass.

Progress Energy Florida, a unit of Progress Energy, is planning to convert the more than 1,000 MW Anclote Power Plant to 100 percent natural gas.

Wärtsilä North America and Lea County Electric Co-op Inc. (LCEC), a member-owned co-op headquartered in Lovington, N.M., said the 46.7 MW Lea County Electric Co-op Inc. Generation Plant is now operational.

Ohio State University and Southern Co. have signed a collaborative testing agreement to demonstrate the high-pressure syngas-to-hydrogen chemical looping process.

For the first time, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has released greenhouse gas (GHG) data reported directly from large facilities and suppliers as a part of its GHG Reporting Program.

The world is heading for an “insecure, inefficient and high carbon energy system” by 2035 unless major changes take place.

NRG Energy Inc. wants to mothball 473 MW of natural gas-fired generation at the S.R. Bertron plant near Texas by Jan. 1, effectively shutting it down.

Switching from coal to natural gas may not help cut greenhouse gas emissions, a study finds.

The Tennessee Valley Authority completed its purchase of the 968 MW Magnolia Combined Cycle Gas Plant in Mississippi for $436 million, or $450/kW.

I understand no one should bite the hand that feeds them, but I found it somewhat disheartening how your May 2011 issue glossed over the hazardous side effects of hydraulic fracturing.

El Paso Electric Co. will expand its 246 MW Rio Grande natural gas-fired power plant in New Mexico with an 88 MW GE LMS100 aeroderivative gas turbine.

In 2010, the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) sponsored demonstration projects to reduce CO₂/MWh using generation efficiency improvements through combustion balancing at two coal-fired power plants1.

A water treatment system that can turn wastewater into clean water has been shown to reduce potential environmental impacts associated with producing natural gas from shale formations in the U.S. Appalachian basin.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) submitted its draft study plan on hydraulic fracturing for review to the agency’s Science Advisory Board (SAB) on Feb. 8.

The UK government's carbon capture and storage (CCS) demonstration programme - the three projects that will follow the first demonstration - will be open to projects on gas fired power plants as well as coal fired power plants.

The Environmental Protection Agency proposed new transport rules to take effect in 2012 targeting power plant emissions that drift across 31 eastern states and the District of Columbia. EPA estimated compliance costs could reach $2.8 billion in 2014.
