European scientists group urges ban on new natural gas boilers

Envirotec Magazine

The document highlights the extremely high global warming potential of largely unrecorded methane leakages along the whole natural gas supply chain. Methane emissions have a lifetime in the atmosphere of only about 10 years, which is ten times shorter than that of carbon dioxide.

The Perils of Neglecting Flue Gas Cleaning Systems: Understanding the Risks

The Environmental Blog

Flue gas cleaning removes contaminants like sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide, VOCs, heavy metals, and particulate matter from flue gas. Climate Change Carbon dioxide and methane contribute to global warming. Flue gas cleaning solutions are just as important as their production.
