WORLD COAL ASSOCIATION JOINS THE UNEP GLOBAL MERCURY PARTNERSHIP
The World Coal Association (WCA) has been formally accepted into the UN Environment Programme Global Mercury Partnership.
The overall goal of the UNEP Global Mercury Partnership is to protect human health and the global environment from the release of mercury and its compounds by minimising and, where feasible, eliminating global, anthropogenic mercury releases to air, water and land. The WCA is pleased to join 31 other organisations, including governments, intergovernmental organisations, non-governmental organisations and academic institutions in the Partnership.
The WCA Policy Team will contribute to the work of the UNEP Mercury Partnership by leveraging its Members’ expertise in the area of controlling mercury emissions from coal combustion. In addition, WCA will be actively involved in supporting UN negotiations on mercury with scientific evidence and expertise on mercury mitigation technologies used in coal combustion processes.
Milton Catelin, WCA Chief Executive said, “WCA is delighted to be accepted into the Global Mercury Partnership. Our Membership comprises some of the world’s largest coal-producing companies and our participation in the Partnership will enable the coal industry to support the ultimate goal of protecting human health and global environment from releases of mercury.
“There is a great choice of technologies which can be used to address the challenge of mercury emissions, which are already in use in most newly-built coal-fired power stations and Mercury removal rates can be as high as 90% when the most effective technologies are applied.”
WCA will be attending the next UNEP Global Mercury Partnership meeting in St Petersburg on May 24 2012.
For further information about WCA’s participation in this programme, please contact Aleksandra Tomczak, Policy Manager, on 020 7851 0052 or email [e-mail].
