Firewood and coal are used considerably in the rural areas (about 40 % of cooking energy), provoking indoor pollution through the release of particles of smoke, soot and chemical pollutants rich in carbon monoxide and sulfur composites respectively.
There is a great gap of knowledge at the national level. (...) Cape Verde is seeking partnerships to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide and sulfur composites provoked by its fleet of vehicles.

However, in order to combat humaninduced air pollution, we converted to lead-free gasoline and now we executing a program to reduce sulfur in fuels by 95%. In addition, further policy measures have been taken including: stricter application of existing air emission standards and widening their scope to govern all polluting activities; strengthening the enforcement of environmental codes and standards and making them more effective; improving vehicle inspection for harmful emissions lead to further improvement in air quality. (...) In this regard, it is essential to reduce the levels of sulfur and lead in diesel and gasoline fuels and other oil products consumed in the local market.

Sulfur and nitrogen compounds
21. Annual average concentrations of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and particulate sulfate, and wet
deposition of oxidized sulfur, have been declining since the 1980s. (...) Decreasing trends for sulfur and N emissions and
deposition reduction responses in run-off water chemistry have tended to be more gradual
since the early 2000s. (...) Deposition of N has declined less than sulfur and major questions remain concerning
the chemical and biological effects thereof.

We chose a single set of conditions (Illinois #6 high-sulfur coal, 85 % capacity
factor, etc.) for each technology and used EPRI recommended approach to
calculate levelized electricity cost (COE). (...) Because all the gases are contained at high
pressure, high levels of, particulate, sulfur and mercury removal are possible. Emissions
levels from an IGCC unit should be similar to those from a NGCC unit.

clean-up process is effectively doubled in size to first remove sulfur and then CO2. The
CO2 capture and recovery is done at high concentration and pressure and, as such, is
cheaper than for CO2-capture from flue gas capture.
