摘要

本文探讨了二氧化硫（SO2）减排副产品合成石膏对二氧化硫洗涤器技术效率的影响。二氧化硫洗涤器的平均效率为 60%，这表明通过缩小效率差距可以实现大幅减排。石膏的可销售性为改进电厂洗涤器的运行提供了经济激励，使技术效率平均提高了 8.8%。相比之下，我们在统计上没有发现洗涤技术革新的显著证据。

Technical efficiency of SO2 scrubbers with byproduct contracts

This paper explores the impact of synthetic gypsum, a byproduct of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) abatement, on the technical efficiency of SO₂ scrubber technology. On average SO₂ scrubbers are 60% efficient suggesting substantial emission reductions are possible by narrowing the efficiency gap. Gypsum marketability provides an economic incentive for improved power-plant operation of scrubbers with 8.8% average increases in technical efficiency. By contrast, we do not find any statistically significant evidence of innovative change in scrubbing technology.

期刊介绍： Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
