A 2021 Illinois law requires PSEC plus one other municipally-owned coal power station to reduce their carbon emissions by 45% by 2035 and become carbon-free by 2045. Other coal and oil-fired power stations in Illinois over 25 MWe must become carbon-free by 2030, and natural gas plants by 2045. [18] [19]
Original FutureGen project was intended to combine and test several new technologies in a single location, including coal gasification, emissions controls, hydrogen production, electricity generation, and carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS). [22] Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) was the core technology behind FutureGen. IGCC ...

Temperatures in Illinois are projected to rise over the course of the 21st century. The amount of increase depends on how much humans curtail their CO 2 emissions. If humans continue to emit at current levels, the increase will be between 8 and 14 °F (4.4 and 7.8 °C). If emissions are lowered, the rise will be between 4 and 9 °F (2.2 and 5 °C).
Vehicle emissions inspection station in Wisconsin. Arizona – biennially, in Phoenix and Tucson metro areas only, depending on age and type of vehicle. [28]California – biennially for all vehicles from out-of-state, regardless of age; and all vehicles made after 1975 which are more than six years old in all or some zip codes in 41 out of 58 counties.
Crawford Station reduced sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions by 30% and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by 48% in 2001 through the purchase of lower sulfur coal and the installation of new technologies. [6] In 2005, the U.S. Department of Energy funded a mercury control project to test Activated Carbon Injection technology at Crawford Station.
Lemont Refinery is an oil refinery in Romeoville, Illinois owned and operated by Citgo Petroleum Corporation.Originally constructed in the early 1920s, it was reconstructed between 1968 and 1970 by its then owner Union Oil [1] and has a current crude processing capacity of 177,000 barrels per day.

Chemetco had a long history of violations. For example, in August and September 1992, while taking air emission readings, Chemetco was caught using semi-articulated trucks and water sprinklers as a buffer in front of the air emission monitors. [24] [25] This was in contravention of the Clean Air Act, 42.
