There are many factors that are changing and shaping the fuel and energy industries of the future. Environmental, political, economic, and availability issues are just some of these factors. With environmental regulations becoming stricter, the emission of greenhouse gases is a major concern. With the decrease in oil resources, there is a need for other sources of fuel and chemical production. 

Atmospheric emissions from coal-fired generating plants are of concern to various bodies—national (criteria pollutants [CO, particulates,17 03, N02, S02, and Pb], are defined and regulated by the EPA under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards) and international (greenhouse gases, considered under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, are mainly C02, CH4, N20, hydrofluorocarbons,...
