Cayuga Generating Station
open-in-new
<h2 id="environmental-impact">Environmental impact</h2> <p>In 2006, the plant emitted 86,174 tons of <a href="/facts/Sulfur_dioxide/jDK1fIDs">sulfur dioxide</a> (SO2) into the air. Its SO2 emission rate per unit of electricity produced was 26.68 lb/<a href="/facts/MWh/qvVkEmPH">MWh</a> in 2006, ranking 2nd worst in the United States. In 2008, Cayuga Station's <a href="/facts/Flue-gas_desulfurization/J6IBX70D">flue-gas desulfurization</a> (FGD) for Units 1 and 2 went online reducing the station's SO2 emissions by approximately 95%.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="see-also">See also</h2> <ul> <li>Indiana portal</li><li>Energy portal</li></ul> <ul><li><a href="/facts/List_of_power_stations_in_Indiana/9okvakEj">List of power stations in Indiana</a></li></ul> <p><a href="https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Cayuga_Generating_Station¶ms=39_55_26_N_87_25_38_W_">39°55′26″N 87°25′38″W / 39.92389°N 87.42722°W / 39.92389; -87.42722</a> </p> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>"Existing Electric Generating Units in the United States, 2006" (Excel).
