Reducing emissions underpins just about everything we do in the power industry. Now in it's 3rd year the EXPPERTS conference provides an important international platform where we can assess where we have got to on power plant emissions reduction and discuss the challenges as well as the opportunities.

The first two days will focus on cutting edge emissions reduction technologies and explore power plant experience, including retrofit. We will review developments and promote the exchange of best practice in the field of "conventional" pollutants (in particular SOx, NOx, particulates and mercury). We will also look ahead to emerging carbon capture and storage technologies, as well as exploring the concept of "capture readiness".

The third day will be a workshop on the practicalities of biomass co-firing in coal fired stations, where we will encourage the exchange of experience between power plants that have been doing this or are planning to do it, review available technologies and assess future prospects. This workshop will be held at Electrabel's Ruien power station which has played a pioneering role in the field of biomass co-firing and is a particularly appropriate location for a workshop focusing on practical experience.

For anyone concerned with power plant emissions, and how to reduce them, the presentations and networking opportunities planned for EXPPERTS 2008 make it an event not to be missed!
