Wet calcium based FGD systems treat more hot gas than all the other air pollution acid gas removal systems combined. There are 2 million MW of installed systems. These systems clean 7 billion cubic feet per minute of exhaust gas. The average installed cost was $200,000/MW resulting in a cumulative investment of over $400 billion. The O&M, consumables and replacement market exceeds $50 billion per year. The capacity growth rate has slowed to 1%/yr. This is due to a combination of 1% retirements in the West, more than offset by a 2% growth rate of new plants in Asia and elsewhere. New construction is averaging 30,000 MW per year. The market will grow over the next 10 years regardless of greenhouse gas initiatives. Some countries in Asia with indigenous coal and no natural gas have no other choice than to install coal-fired power plants if they want to grow their economies in the next decade.
