According to the company, activated carbon is a form of carbon that is specifically processed to make it effective for promoting absorption or chemical reactions that are essential in many industrial processes.

Evergreen Energy said activated carbon is especially vital in environmental applications such as groundwater remediation, toxic spill cleanup, and removal of pollutants from air and water.

It is also widely used to capture mercury emissions from coal-fired power stations and natural gas at the wellhead.

Evergreen Energy offers environmental solutions for energy production and generation industries, primarily through its patented clean coal technology, K-Fuel.
