My factory relies heavily on coal energy, but the air pollution it creates is becoming a problem. Is there any way to reduce air pollution while still using coal energy for manufacturing?

Yes, there are several ways to reduce air pollution from coal-powered factories. One method is to use a wet FGD system (waste gas treatment system). This is an upgrade to traditional electrostatic precipitators and bag house filters that helps remove 80-90% of the particulate matter from exhaust gases. Wet Fluidized Bed combustion is another technique that can control NOx emissions while still using coal as fuel. Finally, ultrasoft energy recovery furnaces have also been used with successful results in reducing particulate matter and NOx emission levels.

There are several ways to reduce air pollution from coal energy, including installing pollution control equipment such as particulate filters, introducing clean or "greener" fuels such as natural gas or biomass, and using techniques such as flue-gas desulfurization and selective catalytic reduction to convert nitrogen oxide emissions into harmler forms. Additionally, increasing efficiency in the combustion process can significantly lower the amount of energy wasted, thereby reducing the overall coal use while reducing carbon footprint. Finally, adopting alternative renewable energy sources such as wind or solar can also reduce reliance on coal for manufacturing.
