The accession of ten new member states to the EU in 2004, eight of which are in the Central and Eastern European region and now Bulgaria and Romania at the beginning of this month, has created a significant increase in demand for air pollution control equipment technologies. All these states are required to comply with existing EU laws and the Large Combustion Plant Directive, passed in 2001, is the key piece of legislation in this field.

On this topic Frost & Sullivan will host an exclusive interactive briefing on 1 February, 2007, at 2 p.m. GMT to provide manufacturers, distribution channels, end-users and other industry participants with an overview of the air pollution control equipment technologies market in Central and Eastern Europe.

The briefing will look at some of the key technologies in this field and examines what, besides legislation, is driving the growth in demand and looks at the challenges that could be faced in this market in the future. The key focus of this briefing is on technologies limiting emissions from coal fired plants, although gas plants are also considered, where relevant. Consideration is given to existing power plants and also to the potential for new plant construction.

Highlights of the briefing include: an analysis of the current situation and the growth opportunities for Fabric Filters, ESP, FGD and SCR technologies in Central and Eastern Europe.

Those interested in participating in this outlook should Chiara Carella – Corporate Communications at Frost and Sullivan.

This briefing will benefit the makers of air pollution control technologies, companies considering whether to enter the pollution control market in Eastern Europe – be it through indigenous growth or through a potential acquisition – and the utilities that own and operate Central and Eastern Europe’s power plants.
