    Wood energy emits lower levels of nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter compared to average coal plants according to a study by Craven County Wood Energy. While wood energy does not emit any mercury, the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy does not fully support biopower projects that do not implement best available control technology to reduce emissions.

    Pollution Emissions

    Emissions: Wood vs. Coal •  Craven County Wood


    Energy (CCWE) is
    clearly superior to
    average coal plants
    •  Lower NOX, SO2, PM
    •  No mercury!
    •  Nevertheless, SACE
    does not support
    biopower with less
    than BACT
