The air pollution control vendors are actively developing and implementing technologies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from both the industrial and power sectors.  Below are technology summaries for a variety of technologies available for use in the power or industrial sectors as well as emission monitoring technology.  Institute of Clean Air Companies Focus Paper on Carbon Capture ( December 2009) The Institute of Clean Air Companies releases its focus paper outlining the air pollution control industry’s perspectives on how to expedite commercialization of cost-effective carbon capture technologies.  Click here to download a copy of the paper.
