Fuel Tech
United States
Fuel Tech, an environmental technologies company, has developed a suite of products and services to provide boiler optimization, efficiency improvements, and air pollution reduction and control solutions. The Air Pollution Control segment has developed a variety of technologies that significantly reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) and other serious air pollutants. The Fuel Chem division utilizes specialty chemicals to improve the efficiency of industrial operations. For example, a Fuel Chem injection typically can reduce the CO2 emissions produced by a 500 MW coal plant by approximately 8 tons/hour, or a little over 1%. While this is a small reduction, given the magnitude of emissions released through coal-based electricity generation, the cumulative results are not trivial. Although Fuel Tech serves some of the world's dirtiest industries, such as coal and oil power generation, municipal solid waste, and pulp and paper facilities, the environmental benefits provided by its technologies are significant. Fuel Tech's CEO, John Norris, states that while a strong push for renewable energy is necessary, in our lifetime, fossil fuels will continue to supply a large portion of our energy needs. He sees a growing business opportunity in the increasing demands to improve air quality. While Fuel Tech's technologies do not contribute to renewable energy solutions, they do provide significant environmental benefits in the near term. Portfolio 21 has asked the company to expand on its environmental reporting, implement an environmental management system, and develop a comprehensive environmental policy.
