Industrial Emissions: The Downward Trend in Toxic Output

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, industrial emissions of toxic output from thousands of facilities across the country have decreased by 56 percent from 2005-2015. Stricter regulations on emissions as well as ever-increasing focus on environmentally friendly practices and shifts away from coal and towards alternative fuel sources are all partially to thank for the decrease in emissions. In order to meet demands and meet compliance standards, some power generation companies even started designing generators with emissions reduction in mind, adding to the lower output trend. Altogether, the factors that contribute to the decrease in toxic industrial emissions means a healthier, less polluted future is in the works.

Benefits of Keeping Industrial Emissions Low

The downward trend in toxic output of emissions by industrial facilities is positive for a number of reasons.

• Savings: If certain regulations are not met, facilities could face hefty fines and other consequences. Reducing industrial emissions and being compliant with current regulations could mean savings for your facility.
• Reduce Carbon Footprint: A reduction of industrial emissions means reducing the carbon footprint a facility leaves behind. This is beneficial to the environment, helping to keep pollution levels low.
• Maximize Efficiency: Inspecting and upgrading your generator when necessary is key in keeping industrial emissions low and ensuring maximum efficiency. Regular inspections and upgrades will not only keep emissions low, they will also make sure that applications are being carried out to their full potential and in a safe manner. When a generator runs at maximum efficiency, it runs most effectively but also at the lowest cost, as no fuel is wasted.

Overall, the downward trend in toxic industrial emissions has a positive impact on companies, the people they serve, and the environment.
