Key Industry Development:

Technology trends (wet, dry, semi‐dry, seawater)

✅ Wet limestone systems remain the workhorse in large coal power plants due to high ( Greater Than 95-98%) SO2 removal, but 2025 technology reviews stress rapid interest in dry and semi‐dry (spray dryer absorber) FGDs because they use far less water, have smaller footprints, and can achieve zero‐liquid‐discharge operation.​

✅ Seawater FGD continues to gain share in coastal plants: by 2023-2025, over 300 units had adopted seawater scrubbing, particularly in Southeast Asia, due to low reagent cost and the ability to use seawater alkalinity as the sorbent.​

✅ Newer hybrid and high‐efficiency designs highlighted in 2025 analyses can push SO2 removal above 98%, improving economics where very strict emission limits apply.​

Regulatory developments and policy shifts

1. Major growth drivers remain air‐quality regulations such as the U.S. EPA rules, EU Industrial Emissions Directive, and China's ultra‐low‐emission standards, which require deep SO2 cuts from coal power, industrial boilers, and smelters.​

2. In India, however, the Environment Ministry in mid‐2025 relaxed FGD norms: only coal plants within 10 km of cities over 1 million people or in critically polluted / non‐attainment areas are now required to install FGD, exempting about 78-79% of national coal capacity from mandatory retrofits and cutting expected power‐tariff impacts.​

3. This rollback is framed as balancing costs, climate and compliance, and is expected to ease financial pressure on many Indian coal plants while slowing domestic retrofit orders.​

Application segments and regional outlook

1. Coal‐fired power plants remain the largest end‐use, but refineries, cement, metal smelters, and waste‐to‐energy plants are increasingly important as they face tighter SO2 limits.​

2. Asia‐Pacific (China, India, South Korea, Southeast Asia) is the largest and fastest‐growing regional market, driven by ongoing coal usage, industrial expansion, and national clean‐air programs, even as some policy adjustments (like India's) moderate growth.​

Strategic and technical themes 2025

1. Key 2025 themes include: designing compact, modular FGD solutions for retrofits; favoring dry/semi‐dry and seawater systems where water is scarce or wastewater rules are strict; integrating FGD within broader air‐quality control systems; and using advanced controls to boost efficiency and reduce OPEX.​

2. Vendors and plant operators increasingly evaluate FGD investments alongside decarbonization and coal‐retirement plans, prioritizing installations where plants are expected to run long‐term under stringent SO2 caps.
