Coal accounts for 52% of the power generated in the United States. Research for mercury controls in light of pending new regulations to control mercury from these power plants, has focused on post-combustion controls. This paper will review mercury concentrations in coal used in the United States and discuss the potential for pre-combustion management as part of a compliance plan.
