The plant’s new boiler, air separation unit, CO 2 purification and compression unit will deliver 90% CO 2 capture and eliminate most SO x , NO x , mercury, and particulate emissions. Oxy-combustion burns coal with a mixture of oxygen and CO 2 instead of air to produce a concentrated CO 2 stream for permanent storage.
