For a 500MWe PC unit fitted with carbon capture, a 24% energy penalty was estimated to have resulted in an increase of approximately 25% for fuel, limestone (for the flue gas desulphurisation system) and ammonia (for nitrogen oxide control) inputs (see Table 3) .95 A US DOE analysis on the freshwater requirements for carbon capture found that in

The flue gas desulphurisation or FGD technology involved scrubbing sulphur dioxide gas with a sorbent (limestone) to limit the emissions of sulphur dioxide to the atmosphere.

As the World cleaned up its energy and industrial emissions, moving away from coal towards oil and gas, fitted flue gas desulphurisation to power stations and reduced sulphur in petrol, the amount of sulphate particles in the atmosphere decreased, likewise the latter part of the 20th Century was unusually quiet in terms of major vulcanism; there was less dirt in the atmosphere and the climate began to warm again.

To reduce sulphur dioxide emission, NPCL has said that it would use the flue gas desulphurisation facility, but this would not reduce the impact on the environment said NEERI.
