Power is everywhere, but we rarely think about it until the lights go out. From little things like turning on the lights in the morning to running complex medical devices, the world needs power.
Harmful emissions are a byproduct of power production. Due to innovation and advances in technology, most of these emissions can be reduced or even completely neutralized. This is possible in part through the use of emission control catalysts. Umicore's DNX and DNO catalysts are responsible for reducing harmful emissions in over 100 gigawatts of power production worldwide.
Up until now, there has been no cost-effective way to successfully ensure that an selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst meets NOx emissions reduction targets when the flue gas is at lower temperatures. But now, a catalyst with an optimal temperature range of operation between 150 °C to 200 °C is a reality.
