Assuming each mole of sulfur in fuel oil (#2) forms 1 mole of SO2, does the energy released from burning 1 ton of oil result in more or less sulfur emissions then are released from burning coal with best available emissions controls for the same amount of energy released?

What will be an ideal response?


From Appendix D, Table D. 4

The sulfur content of fuel oil = 0.22%

1 ton of #2 fuel oil = 1.165 m3 (from Table D.2)







Emission from burning coal with best available emissions control ~20* less than uncontrolled #2 fuel oil
