Emissions of SO2 generated during the combustion of fossil fuels can be reduced by treating the flue gases before they are emitted into the atmosphere via the stack; this is termed Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD). Flue gas desulphurisation systems can be classified as either Regenerable or Non-regenerable.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
