What We Do

Powerspan develops and commercializes proprietary, multi-pollutant control and carbon dioxide (CO2) capture technology for electric power plants. Our patented Electro-Catalytic Oxidation (ECO^®) technology provides high removal of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), mercury (Hg), and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from the flue gas of coal-fired power plants. The process also produces a valuable fertilizer co-product, minimizing landfill disposal of waste.

For more information about ECO^® and ECO-SO2 (for high removal of SO2, oxidized mercury, and PM2.5), visit the ECO^® and ECO-SO2 technology pages. To learn about our CO2 capture technology for existing and new coal-fired power plants, please visit our ECO2^® technology page.
