Over the past several decades, regulations on these facility emissions have become more stringent and have therefore caused industry to look toward new pre- and post-combustion control technologies. In more recent years, there has been a "push" toward renewable and cleaner burning alternative fuels as replacements for traditional fossil fuels.
