Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. (MEEC) in Rare Position for Explosive Growth
While much of the world has been focused on oil and natural gas issues, including concerns regarding associated pollution, much of the public has been unaware of one of the most significant environmental related changes that has been occurring around the world. The change is with the use of coal, arguably the single worst environmental polluter of all.
The change in coal use that is especially concerning is the rate at which it is growing. Although the U.S. has been slowly weaning itself off its coal addiction, in favor of less polluting, but still concerning, natural gas and oil, those parts of the world that are most rapidly developing, China and India, are wildly ramping up coal use, a cheap energy source. Thanks to this growing demand, coal could soon actually exceed oil as the world’s major fuel of choice, exacerbating global pollution problems.
Coal is a well-known producer of carbon emissions, but it is also a major producer of mercury, which ultimately enters the food chain and becomes methylmercury, toxic to animals and people. In the U.S. alone, roughly half of mercury emissions come from power plants, a primary user of coal. And standard coal pollution technologies simply do not address the serious problem of mercury pollution.
For U.S.-based Midwest Energy Emissions Corp., an environmental services company, it represents a major opportunity for explosive growth. The company develops and delivers patented, cost-effective mercury capture systems and technologies to power plants and other coal-burning units in the U.S. and Canada. New U.S. Environmental Protection Agency restrictions for the emission of mercury will soon take effect, impacting over a thousand coal fired power plants around the country, and Midwest Energy Emissions has the single most effective technological solution. The company is already signing major contracts as utilities rush to be in compliance. Rarely is a company in such a perfect position for rapid growth.
