Kingston Fossil Plant Emissions

What TVA is doing about emissions at Kingston

TVA has taken a number of steps to make the efficient generation of power at Kingston as clean as possible:

• The plant burns a low-sulfur blend of coal in all nine units to limit emissions of sulfur dioxide.
• Two scrubbers were completed in 2010 at a cost of $475 million to further reduce sulfur dioxide emissions by up to 95 percent.
• All nine units use low-NOx burners to reduce the production of nitrogen oxides.
• All nine units operate SCRs that further reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by about 90 percent.
