. Estimates for CO2 emissions from pulverized-coal plants currently deployed range from 960 and 1050 g CO2e/kWh; these estimates include the average for the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan, as well as the average for the United States operating under new source performance standards (NSPS)

and U.K. average coal plants with carbon capture via MEA emit approximately 250 g CO2e/kWh (Odeh and Cockerill, 2008; Spath and Mann, 2004)

SO2 EMISSIONS Coal Because of coal's high sulfur content, traditional pulverized-coal plants have the highest SO2 emissions of all technologies considered here -- approaching 7000 mg/kWh. Significantly lower emissions, however, are estimated for different coal based configurations.

They found that carbon capture via MEA increased air emissions of NOx from 410 to 590 mg/kWh for a supercritical pulverized-coal plant with SCR, FGD, and ESP. (NH3 increases from 5 to 470 mg/kWh with CCS via MEA for coal because oxidation of MEA produces ammonia.)

found that approximately equal percentages of PM were emitted from upstream processes and from the power plant itself, while the German ExternE study found negligible PM emissions from power generation (European Commission, 1997)
