Abstract: Coals found in Iowa have sulfur contents that exceed the amount allowed by most federal, state, county and municipal sulfur dioxide emission standards. Tightening and strict enforcement of the state implementation plan regulations may increase the demand for desulfurization by cleaning of high-sulfur Midwestern and Eastern coals. This study examines the potential impact of this process and of improved transportation of coal from within and outside Iowa on the utilization of Iowa coal.
