When considering the direction in which any business looking to reduce its environmental footprint should head Next, consider this technological strategy of using an FGD plant to offset emissions and eliminate air pollutants. First By being able to suppress SO2 emissions, this can help it avoid falling foul of from increasingly strict environmental laws which can bring heavy costs. Second By making the air quality so much better, it can reduce a myriad of health problems in surrounding communities. Thirdly A company is more inclined to be seen as "leaning in" the correct direction if it puts up an FGD plant--that is undergoing a process of rehabilitating industrial land or producing nonpolluting products. Finally The byproducts generated can be sold, such as gypsum. These secondary products bring in another revenue. So these benefits combine to make a compelling case for the use of FGD technology in generating electricity and heavy industry.
