The report presents results of a collaborative demonstration of mercury air emission reduction at the 8 MW pilot plant located at coal-fired Cherepetskaya Thermal Power Plant in Russia. The pilot plant was equipped with an activated carbon (AC) injection system and an electrostatic precipitator (ESP).

The report provides technical information on the concentration of mercury and associated constituents such as trace elements and halogens in feed coals used in South African utilities. In addition, it provides data to assess mercury removal by coal washing procedures used or being developed in South Africa. The results show how coal selection, coal washing and operational changes (e.g.

The report presents a demonstration of mercury air emission reduction at a coal-fired power plant in Russia. A wet particulate matter (PM) scrubber installed in Toliatti thermal plant has been modified to allow for addition of chemical reagents (oxidants) into the closed-loop liquid spray system.

The report summarizes the limited data available on mercury emissions from India, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

The report characterizes the coal-fired power sector in The Russian Federation, and includes a description of coal consumption, coal quality, results from coal analysis, pollutants controls in the sector, and an inventory of mercury emissions from the sector.

The report characterizes the coal-fired power sector in China, and includes a description of coal consumption, coal quality, results from coal analysis, pollutants controls in the sector, and an inventory of mercury emissions from the sector.

The POG is a tool to help determine the approaches to control mercury emissions in coal-fired power plants, in many cases a co-benefit of reducing emissions of other pollutants. The POG allows for a preliminary selection of a mercury control strategy for a given power plant. In general, the POG is also applicable to coal-fired large industrial boilers.

The Global Coal Plant Tracker (GCPT) developed by Global Energy Monitor provides information on coal-fired power units from around the world generating 30 megawatts and above.

Summary document of: The report summarizes the regulatory situation regarding mercury emissions in different countries, the status of mercury control technology development, and the cost of emission reduction in coal-fired power plants. Where possible, the economic evaluation includes any increased costs due to changes in waste disposal options for coal-combustion by-products.

The general objective of this project is to identify and manage mercury emissions in Chile in order to protect human health and the environment.

To fulfill this general objective, the project foresees the implementation of the following activities, among others:

• Identifying the main sources of mercury emission and release in Chile.
